I would be changing some stuff up though that I find not up to par, such as the BOV among others

I was thinking here, that stage 3 kit is almost 7 grand... What if someone could source all the parts there since they so nicely tell you everything that you need, then price them separately at the lowest possible price (the beauty of the internet) and do that instead? I'm sure the idea has been kicked around and as of late, I have been thinking of going KA-T with my extra engine and I think level one can be done for so much less than what they are asking...

That site is just full of ****.
First off, 385cc injectors cannot provide 400hp with a piggyback fuel controller. Then, the wastegate sucks a lot, the bov is cheap, the pistons and rods are overpriced, and the magical 25psi claim on 385cc injectors is proposterous. Followed by, it doesn't include gauges, a turbo timer, boost controller (how do you get 25psi again?).
Arg. Without trying hard, you can have better parts for less. My stage 1 cost me $3200 with FMIC. I think I skipped stage 2 and am at stage 3, for about $5000. And I have much better parts, gauges, timer, cams, ect.
