After looking at the quality of welds that come from their products, I would try them out. Trevor is an easy guy to talk to and can put together an awesome kit for you.
Thanks for the link, I'm following up on that!

Correction: The turbos are designed to reach a certain horsepower goal. HP should be chosen on turbo. Like I want 700 daily so I choose the HTA3586. All the shops carry that turbo but I'm going with ETS for a few reasons. One, I don't like David. Honestly though, there is really not a lot different between the kits. wastegate placement, runner size, manifold design but just the way they route things are different. There is not a right or wrong way and everything works just fine.

I suggest buying a complete kit from whomever you choose, and customize it to your liking.
I would actually say this is the opposite of what you are saying. The great thing about kits is that they are already pre-assembled and the R&D is already done on how each component work with each other.

By building part by part I believe you CAN save money, it just takes a lot more time and effort.

You may save money by getting certain parts separately, but you cant really mix and match manifolds/downpipes, intercoolers, etc... because they are all designed to work together. When you buy them together from one place, you generally get a package discount. You may pay full retail when buying new parts individually, but buy them together from one place and you could save 10-15%.

Ive seen plenty of guys piece together kits, especially Honda guys. Many will build their own parts or modify things like the downpipe or IC piping to work. Now, they might save money, but when you calculate how much their time/effort is worth vs how much time was spent, they usually lose money. For example, if you make $20/hour on the job and spend 40 hours modifying individual parts to work as a whole and only save $500, you have lost money.

There are some cases where you might save money, here are a few: You dont work for your income, your hourly wage is low, or you buy all used parts.
