I couldn't recommend it enough... honestly speaking.. i'm what you call annoyingly detailed and OCD, you could ask ronnie from JDL.. i called them 20 mil times and asked them twice that many questions, these guys are great and the kit.. is up to may standards.. The car starts building boost by 3k and has full by 4k.. i have data logs to show it just not sure how to upload those here. I'm running open dump and personally i suggest going with the recirculating if you're concerned with noises. The thing that bothers me which isn't related to the kit is that wastegate spring starts to open at around 2psi when the spring pressure is 7psi in my case, so you get this annoying sound pretty much any time you have boost. Perhaps once i get a boost controller it'll stay shut till the actual 7psi. Look my name "yomny" up on youtube and you'll see a few short vids i uploaded this weekend for tuning ARF and other things, it'll allow you to hear what the open dump sounds like. Till today, its been a few weeks of full boost glory, pretty much everytime i get and no overheating, leaking or issues what so ever. If you do get it and have any questions with the install ask away.

PS- Its also hard to guess who's the right guy to tune your car and this is assuming you dont have anyone locally. I just finished the final little tweaks on my tune using my wideband AFR and couldn't be happier. The tune is so refined, the idle, transition.. its way better than the OEM tune. I was tuned NA stock, then NA with full catless header and exhaust and i could say overall performance can't be beat now boosted. Its smooth, seemless, powefull when needed and again seamless. You cant tell you're boosted unless you start to build boost, theres little to no transient lag, the power is right there when you needed and this is my city daily driver, so i'm usually in what used to be the torque dip area which right now is the boost area 34k. If you're in need of a tuner i could defenitely point you in the right direction.. i dont want to mention as not sound like i'm advertising but this guy has been working with me Mon-Sunday.. including valentines day and couldn't think more highly of him. him and JDL are meant for each other lol.
