I would look up the air requirements for the most demanding tool you think you'll be driving (perhaps an impact wrench, grinder, or drill) and use that as a point of reference. An air compressor can last you a LONG time. Once of those things that you don't want to have to buy again if you don't have to. Craftsman compressors are a good investment. We used to have a Craftsman and now have an Ingersoll Rand.

I would have a stoke because I have little patience for this kind of work. Why lose precious time off my life when I can have someone else do it that has done it before. If I can't afford to have someone install my TT I have no business getting one. Now....GTM....send me my TT please.

That's why I wanted to get the BP kit. I don't have to dig around in the tight space. Unfortunately Sasha is too busy with life right now to finish the 10 kits he has started. I am not sure if I want to wait till he is able to finish them or not. Right now, it looks like I may buy the MHI kit. So, 18g or 20g turbos?

A 16g should do 120-123mph, that should keep me happy......I hope

go with the 18G turbo, it spools faster than the 20G turbo and offers similar power output

plus its a common mod most Evo and DSM guys do and its always recommended over the 20g turbos
