the kit has some nice stuff. the turbo is the exact same specs as the one i run. the turbo timer is nice but not needed. i see it comes with a bov but none of the pipes included have a flange for the bov so youd have to buy one. they also talk about an oil regulator but there is a much easier and more reliable way of taking care of that. what you do is take the oil feed line which is normally .25" and force a piece of aluminum into the fitting to completely plug it off. then drill a 1/16" hole through that. that way the turbo is being fed by only a 1/16" oil. any more and you will flood the turbo and blow the seals.
also be prepared to buy a check valve for the oil feed fine. because the oil feed line is so long and that the rear mounts require an oil pump to return the oil back to the motor after the turbo, when the motor shuts off, the oil pump shuts off and all that pressurized oil in the feed line goes into the turbo and floods it. i thought this wasnt needed until after running my truck the first time i shut it town and oil started pooring out the exhaust. i think i bought the 10psi check valve from duda diesel on ebay. what it does is it closes the oil feed line off when oil pressure drops below 10psi. and the beauty of it is that you have 9psi of oil sitting in the oil feed line ready to go for the next start up so as soon as you start cranking the motor, the turbo is getting oil

yes. i run a t fitting off the location where the stock oil pressure sending unit is. from there i run a ridged .25" copper line to the back of the truck. from there the oil goes into the 10psi check valve and then goes to a -4 braided steel line to the oil fitting that has been plugged to a 1/16" hole. after the turbo i use a .5" push lock hose that runs into the oil pump. from the oil pump i go back to a 3/8" ridged copper line that goes all the way to the oil fill cap
