Retaining stock header? HUGE performance hit. The factory cat is very restrictive, and putting it before a turbocharger is a HUGE no-no. As the cat breaks up over time and heat, it will send bits of worn out cat into the turbo to be munched up. This is awful on the hot side.
The stage 2 kit seems to have a decent intercooler solution, the stage 1 kit's intercooler is atrocious.
These are reasons enough for me to entirely write it off compared to other kits.

can't you just swap out the cats for catless headers?
also i doubt the COG going to be an issue with a turbo kit?
