What's the difference between getting premium kit vs base kit?

The difference is:
GT2871R vs GTX2867R 4 bolt mounting vs V band mounting Upgraded intercooler Mass produced intercooler piping versus hand built intercooler piping I believe those are the major differences.

I ended up cutting and welding a wrench in the shape of a boomerang. Problem solved!

How does this kit handle the heat? I'm really stuck with this one or going sc Innovate or kraftwerks.

A turbo compared to a supercharger (at least those you just mentioned) is going to run a lot cooler and be a lot more efficient. Heat soak is a big issue with supercharging.

Why is it a twin screw has higher IAT? Is that core intercooler just not sufficient enough ?

There will be differences with a rotrex but they're still not as efficient as a turbo because of the belt. Less efficiency = more heat to produce the same pressure and move the same volume. I'm speaking very generally here and I'm sure someone with a better grasp of the physics can correct me if I'm wrong. |

Do you have to send in your ECU or can you download the map if you already have ecutek?

You don't have to send in your ECU. You flash it with EcuTek and an EcuTek cable through the OBDII port.

All external wastegate boost controllers are compatible. They are simple devices. All they do is manipulate the vacuum/boost on top of or below the diaphragm in the wastegate. Now how you adjust or control that boost controller is up to you.

Where would I hook up the ports? Because on the picture it looks like the turbo has a fitting, but our turbo set up doesn't..
