import power couldn't be happier with his and he's running like 24 psi or something like that. i think he modified a few pipes a bit to go with his setup but i think all in all people are pretty happy with this kit.

i don't really see too much potential for boost leaks because the pipes are bead rolled and come with t-bolt clamps. i'm goin with it the second i feel like droppin 600 bucks.

and besides... 600 bucks. who can argue with that

The kit is fine, just make sure you get a good seal on the couplers (use t-bolts), pay attention to the rear turbo seal, and pressure test. The pipes aren't leaking its just adjusting your couplers to make sure they get a good seal.
