i am concidering ordering the spool upgrade kit but i only have 2600 miles on my car is this broken in enough? my plan B is to order the FMIC with a HSK boost controllerand BOV or just order stock IC metal pping. Does any one know whereIcould get a metal piping kit for our existing IC. Also what down pipe and waste gates are availible for our cars? will a HKS waste gate work ? also what after market turbo manifolds are avalible? Mainly this is my point I am a newbie and am trying to find the best thing for my car with out changing the internals. can any one help. Tanx in advanced for your help.

washington state? and to answer your questions dont spend money on upgrading turbo. Even the plastic crap we have is fine it just doesnt look great. It is fully functional though and you wont see much gains with metal. Get exhaust that should help, and a intake then you should be good for a while unless you dont have a boost controller yet becuase you NEED one of those.

Some people have been having trouble w/ Atmospheric BOV's (stalling).
Some have been getting the Turbo XLS, others are getting the HKS SSQV (my personal noise maker fav). Choice is yours... The stock one works fine until you up dat boost
