Mine will be set up at 7psi, my AFR's aren't correct yet as I have yet to get my car tuned. Also waiting for my MAP sensor to come in!

I'm looking at around 3500 for the kit with a tune. Turns out my turbo is blown though, so I'll keep everyone posted

HUGE update! The turbo isn't blown, the crap that was flying out of my exhaust wasn't oil, it was carbon that hadn't been burnt, it was just sitting there. I also installed the 3 bar map sensor today and the car now drives like a dream! Calling for a tune tomorrow, keep looking here for an update!
