Question XS T04E Kit: Anything you would change?

I'm going single soon and have pretty much decided on the XS kit. I'm just curious if there's anything anyone would change about it (i.e. different lines, simpler installation, etc.). Gracias in advance.

Maybe the wastegate to an HKS Race, and the BOV to an HKS SS.

Probably a pricing issue.

They should have used a different bov. The Apex one is prone to leaking under boost- they've had problems with them before, I am too.

I also didn't like how the oil return hose fit into the pipes- the bottom oil pipe should have a 90 degree turn in it, or the hose should have a 90.

I would have also preferred a flex section in the downpipe to lower the stress on the mounting bolts on the turbo outlet.

And I also think they should sell it, at least as an option, with the dump tube plumbed back into the exhaust.

You might want to plumb the open w/g into your downpipe. A muffler shop should be able to take care of that.
