BOOSTED

I want your kit but cannot afford it. Two blow off valves, two waste gates does not reduce cost either.

Would the below fit. This should reduce/simplify plumbing and also parts cost. The blow off valves integrated in the
compressor housing.

From left bank and right bank directly into turbo. No waste-gate frabrication, no blow off valve fabrication.

May be this could be a more affordable option for guys like me.

Couple comments;
- There's only one BOV on the charge pipe, right before the FMIC. Earlier versions had two, but now it only comes with one.
- I highly recommend against an internally gated turbo considering where the turbo sits
- Last, and not trying to offend you, but if you can't afford the kit the way it comes, then boosting your Z is probably not a good idea. You always need emergency funding when boosting a NA car.

Not to mention that proper supporting mods will almost cost as much as the kit.

The kit as it sits IS the affordable turbo option.
