i was just going off of people spending over $2k on atp kits....and over 2k on buschur non ball bearing kits...and $3800 on ams kits and stuff...just makin a point that a do it yourself kit can be much more cost effective with the resources....and none of those kits come with programming either. I just wanted to try a different route...we will see if it pays off or not...lol

You are right. However I can agree with you that BR kit is over priced for a none ballbearing none water cooled turbo as you can get their turbo for less than $600 and they dont even come with EX WG. However AMS is nice but its made to fit like a glove and you get a nice looking high flow top of the line MANIFOLD. ATP is the best one on the market starting with price ending with quality plus i spool like stock as we speak. I love your kit but you were lucky finding an almost free manifold as many other will have a hard time finding one. However you have a great setup there and you managed to save over $300 which is great but for me i was lazy to do what you did so i went with the whole kit plus i wanted warranty. very nice kit keep us updates coming.
