Its a great kit! and whats even better is that isn't even at its highest potential. you could hit the 500 mark with correct fueling and tuning. So you have room to grow if need be!
Then comes lines from the wastegate and the stock boost controller. The front port is left open. The side port goes to the port on the wastegate that is closest to the car. The other port on the wastegate is left open. Then the rear port on the boost controller goes to the boost source on the turbo.
Im asking cause im trying to c if I have mines to the correct place.

Is the motor stock in this lnf and how far up are you spinning it and how are you slowing the boost hitting reason I ask is iv got a Garrett t60 I'm probably dropping in my cobalt with atmospheric bov and external waste gate

Yes this will install onto a stock LNF. Obviously you would need all the simple bolt ons too but those dont necessarily need to be Treadstone...although i highly recommend that you do. As far as internals go, i was on stock internals for about a year before i had to upgrade. At the time where i broke a piston, i was 450+hp. Alot of ppl will agree that 400hp is pretty much the safe limit of stock internals. Some have much more power on stock, and there is guys on stock turbo that have broken internals, but 400hp is about the average.

As stated above, my internals were stock till about July (about a year later). On stock internals and head i was spinning to 7000 i think. I have since upgraded the valve springs and retainers as well as rods and pistons and i am now spinning to 7500. As for slowing the boost hitting...its a bigger turbo than stock so it has lag...therefore it doesn't hit like stock turbo. But you can adjust how the boost ramps in with your tune.

nice....are you staying at 24psi or u have another tune setup for higher boost levels? i kno they say anything more then 26 is to much for the street but i'm shooting for 520whp daily driver with my build i have no set boost pressure long as i reach my goal.

right now my DD tune is 22psi, tapering to 20 (on purpose). Purely because i dont want to break my tranny till i have money saved up. Once i get a tranny ill probably go up to 24psi on e47.
