   leave alone. complete waste of money unless you get it for 100quid.

   Very poor kit, large price tag considering nothing for fueling involved!!
   And doesn't look like it would fit an 8v to me!!
   
   Stay clear!!
   
   If your going to do it, get it done properly!!
   
   Also sophia bush sells kits which contain much more than this with optional fueling components, which are better and cheaper!! I'd give him a pm if your serious about running boost!

   700 quid!
   
   I should have sold my turbo parts on ebay instead.
   
   Not worth much mate, as said mani is terrible.
