no one has any thoughts on it?

I can't think of any problems. The price seems reasonable too.

i think its a good deal, but i have boost creep like a mother on my 16g.

i basically did the same thing myself and it cost me 700 total and i used my stock manifold and did it all myself(PAIN IN THE AS$)

i would get it if you have a 3 inch exhaust with no cat, cuz you will more than likely have creep. also if you don't and plan on going with a bigger turbo someday you might as well external gate setups usually arn't that cheap.

I thought external wastegates prevent boost creep?

also do you thhink the stock 02 housing will be ok ?

and i only have a 2.5" cat back... i understood that with external wastegates u can usally run a 2.5" exhaust...

maybe im getting my facts mixed up..

I'm running a small 16G with a tial 40mm external gate dumped to the atmosphere and 3" exhaust with high flow cat. I have no issues at all. I ran this setup with a ported Evo manifold, stock exhaust and stock O2 housing with no problems.
