SAM: IF YOU READ THIS, REPLY TO THIS POST AND EXPLAIN THE APALLING STATE OF THIS KIT!
I recently bought a speedvision td04l kit and fitted it a couple of weekends ago.
After managing to get all the stock parts (exhaust manifold, turbo, cat, radiator) off and putting the new manifold on, we encountered a large number of problems:
I had to have 12 hours work done and fork out £240 to get this fixed! And after all that, we still had no idea whether the turbo would smoke or not! Luckily it didnt smoke after it had been running for a few minutes!
I recommend that anybody avoids these kits, whether speedvision sells them again in the future, or you see one second hand, unless you are willing to have all these problems fixed! I know that I'll avoid any speedvision parts in the future!

After managing to get all the stock parts (exhaust manifold, turbo, cat, radiator) off and putting the new manifold on, we encountered a large number of problems:
- Gaskets were cut wrongly and the holes were offset
- Turbo is SPRAYPAINTED silver to make it look reconditioned, and still has some oil from the impreza it came from! And spraypaint on the fins so that they catch on the housing is not good!
- Oil drain leaks oil
- Water pipes don't fit correctly
- Downpipe flange is at completely wrong angle & 180 degrees off rotationally.
- Downpipe flange is TOO BIG!
