This is what i went through..

Why not to use cheap 304 stainless

Did it make power, YES. Was it a good learning experience, YES. Would i do it again, NO!!!

At least the kit we bought had all Turbonetics parts, not china junk.

What about B&G's kits? I just started saving and thought it seemed to be a pretty good kit, True?

^^ I'm all for cheap, but it has to last or it isn't worth the hassle. Anyone can make power, that's easy.

You are not going to find better customer support than Brian at BG.

Its not so much the cheap, its the material that the headers are made from. Find a cheap mild steel kit and your golden until the turbo takes a crap IMO
