I am thinking I will be fine. There are a lot of PPl running the alpha kit. The only mods I have done to the kit are the injectors are bigger than the kit and my bov is not the stock bosch one. I might be using a full 3" exhaust not sure yet.

any suggestions

I wanted to put the body kit on this weekend so I got the front installed so far.

Might be trading for an ss body kit but for now my focus is on turbo install
