"How do you like it?" is a rather broad question... is there any more specific information you're looking for?
 
^nothing ever will, boost is a drug.

First you'll install it and be happy with 6-8 psi. Then you'll want a few more pounds, up the boost and be happy for a short while until you blow your bottom end. At this point you'll either say #### it and sell the car and parts for cheap or you'll say #### it and build a new motor, spend a bunch more money on a better fuel system, boost somewhere around 20psi and be happy once again for quite a bit of time. Then you'll want a bigger turbo.

Cliffs: You'll be happy, you'll be sad, you'll be happy, you'll change your setup. The turbo that comes with the star kit is typically capable of more power than most will end up reaching, it's the other aspects of bolt on turbo kits that you'll end up needing to replace (i.e. fuel system)

^^ What he said sounds about right from what I have read too. I plan on doing the bottom end (and other mods) at the same time as the Star kit just to avoid the expensive repairs in the future.

god is this true...LOL

I have the star stage 2, I really enjoy it... but yes... you will get it and want more. You will always want more. The kit itself will give you a kick in the ass that will keep you happy for a while tho.
