Not sure what your point in arguing with me is. I will stand to say that the stage 1 setup is just not worth it. I do like the kit though. ONLY in stage 2 format. Not even sure why they'd even attempt to sell a stage 1.
A turbo kit with no IC on a car that is known to run hot is just asking for disaster. Unless you're into wanting to drop $5k for a setup that can only be used spurts at a time, run race fuel, e85, or setup a 5 gallon tank of methanol controlled by an Aquamist, by all means, go for it.

You just don't get it, do you? IAT's and underhood temperatures aren't directly corellated at all. You're drawing connections that just aren't there.
It's also a $3300 kit, not $5k.
Where does the kit boost pressure land on the efficiency island? Do you even know which turbo it is (specifically, not just GT28)?
Get logs showing that IAT's are dangerous in street driving (even spirited), and I'll listen. Until then, you're just yammering on without an evidence at all.
