From my research on the forums, it seems like those are all from modding the kit for more power. It seems that the kit is reliable in stock form (with a custom tune) so if one is happy with that (approx 410whp, 300wtrq) then it would be fine.

The real question is would I be happy with that. The question on the turbo front is can I justify the extra cost as well as learn enough quickly enough to feel comfortable with the risks involved with it.
Even at stock power levels that kit is playing with fire IMO. The maf being before the compressor and intercooler scares the absolute hell out of me. Especially considering you'll be running 91 octane.
