i dont have any experience with that kit. i know i went for 19 lbs of boost to 34 lbs in about 30 min with the boost elbow.

to me the boost elbow is the best bang for buck .. i had one on my 97 and it made a big difference in boost ... i had mine dialed in to only hit 32 .. thats all i needed .. and i yanked my plate out and was the best thing i ever did ... i dd it in cali trafic with no problems ... better then any plate i put in and was free ... there is a step by step in the stickys some were on how to do it .. worst case you can google .. it helped me out very much .. and also there is a diy here on how to do cheap if not free mods to the pump for a little more kick.. just be careful ... take it from some one who learned the hard way get a Torque Converter & Valve Body before you start beating on it ... if you baby like i did at first then fine ... but when you decide enough is enough and start hammering it ... it will bite you in the ***

if you look on summit racing's web site you can get the big head actuator cheaper from them and then buy that fuel plate and boost elbow on ebay and you can save a lot of money$$$$

Just make sure you have a boost gauge and pyro gauge. I keep my boost so it doesn't get over 30.

with a #10 plate, I set my boost to about 28 psi... hazes slightly at full throttle, I tightened the star wheel a lot to minimize smoke, I don't mind waiting a little for the turbo to spool though.

First i tried the boost elbow and i really didnt notice anything. Started to add more fuel and i noticed it when i get on it. Then stuiped me decided to drill my wastegate out too big and now i dont have much of anything, unless under heavy fuel then she kicks in and sings!! But such as fuel plate. i noticed, no fuel mileage with no plate. i grinded it to some what a #0 and installed the plate and noticed alittle but not much. But it doesnt help to drill your wastegate out too big either!!
