What "other" kits have you taken into the consideration.
Just curious.

AVO is a very complete kit, but that's it. THere's no room for growth. It uses a low boost turbo with actuator.
LudeSpeed kit uses a turbo capable of 400+ HP with a divorced wastegate (which I like better). I like the parallel fuel rail modification that comes with the LS kit. The flanges used on the LS kit for the turbo are available on MANY turbos making it easy to upgrade to a ceramic ball bearing turbo if someone wanted to. Also, you can ask for custom stuff for your kit. I didn't want a Cat or a 2.5" downpipe, so I asked for a catless 3" downpipe made from Stainless Steel. And that's what I got.
I think i-speed has a few things to say about it too:

I emailed Tom @ ludespeed. He said he'd still hook me up with up/dp for 400 bucks. It'll have his traditional FordT3 flanges. Then everything else is up to the buyer. However, everything else is easy.

the only pipe in my kit that sucked was the charge pipe... it was just ugly that's all.
Everything else was gorgeous on mine...
this downpipe is exactly how I wanted it, and it looks good too.

<--------- and as I see from your comments under your name
you aren't doing to good with what you got.
Sorry not trying to start a post war but I just don't think that the ludespeed pipes are very good.
About the same as the JC Sports stuff.

I'm in Hawaii and our track sucks.
My intercooler is currently in the installation phase.
Back to Ludespeed,
You are 100% entitled to think the pipes suck.
However, I'm a functionality over form kind of guy.
The fact that I've performed every modification to my car myself and don't like paying high prices for stuff I can make myself shows it. Why pay for an exhaust when you can make one just as good? Why pay for expensive intercooler kits when you can make one just as good?
(by good I mean functional- not as pretty)
