Seems like a pretty decent kit! If you do get it, I recommend that you measure the inside diameter of every piece. As per the Holset FAQ threads you really want -12AN or 3/4" ID for optimal drainage. Some people say that -10 will be enough and some say that it wasnt enough.

If you haves seen this Id suggest taking a looksie! http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/turbo-system-tech/362444-holset-turbos-faq.html

That kit is way over priced. I pieced my holset drain for well under 100 and its all AN fittings. I would never run a rubber line for any oil line on the car. I also run 10an and have no issues with the turbo blowing smoke or leaking.

See if they'll sell just the flanges. The rest of the kit looks like cheap hardware store stuff.

I think I paid about $70 for mine by piecing it together using -AN fittings, -12 hose and turbo outlet flange from racepartsolutions.com and I even had like 3 ft left of -12AN hose.

It's way overpriced, and it doesn't address the issue that the hole in the oil pan is only like 9/16.

Buy a -12 bung have it welded on the pan, then get a -12 hydrualic fitting, a 3/4" hose mender. Cut the hose mender in half and one half gets welded to the flange, the other half gets welded to the hydraulic fitting, after you cut the crimp part off it.
