I realize the power loss on the dyno is equal to about 22% for the auto too. 120whp/100wtq gain is frigging insane for 4k if you ask me.
That's an amazing deal. The only drawback is if anything goes wrong with the turbo, you will have to bring it to same shop to get if fixed.

On the other hand, if you installed it yourself, you can usually diagnose what the problem is pretty quickly because you'd be much more familiar with the turbo kit (since you installed it yourself)
