Until you have to go out and spend another $200 on mounting hardware, a battery box, screws, bolts, cables, and all the other little miscelaneous things needed they don't include for a "clean" install (i.e. one you can be proud of, is safe, and doesn't look ghetto faboolus...)
"Our Turbo Kits are complete. Everything that is needed to turbo your car is in this kit less fluids"... Um, yeah. 
Don't get me wrong, I'm very pleased with the main component quality, materials, craftsmanship, etc, but the little details make or break it for me, and I was left desiring much in the details.
Kudos HANDS DOWN to Keith and ADC for continuing to make a kit for a dead platform (I wish them success and a lot of business with their new basic kit), but make no mistake that the now $6,000 you spend on the full T3/4 kit is not by any means the last of the money you'll spend to install it (even installing it yourself as I am doing- See the 3L Performance Forum on NECO for all the pics). You are also faced with a TREMENDOUS wait (December now?) for the kit due to ADC's not being able to focus on kit construction (it's not their primary business).
Not bashing, I applaud them all the way. I'm trying to prepare those who may be considering this kit with realistic expectations from an actual customer.
