Why bother debating it. That kit has been several years on the market and nobody else found it necessary to make a cheaper kit commercially available. It's always easy to say you could make it yourself if necessary and that it would be cheaper

a phat body kit and a good set of neons designed for the 951 would be sweet. or a cool set of vinyl graphics that look like japanese symbols but don't actually mean anything.
on a serious note, a timing CHAIN would be nice. or a reasonably priced set of fixed HIDs. but i have no original ideas of my own to add right now, but pushing for some of the ideas already thrown out there.

.-3" SS pipe
-3" to 2" silicon reducer
-3" to 3" silicon coupler
-Various hose clamps
-4" K&N Air filter
Just measure up the pipe and cut to specifications.........

SFR already have built on the end tank on their stage 1 upgrade, but that may not be what you are picturing.

I started working on a way of reprogramming the in-dash boost gauge to be more useful. I figure I could make up a black sticker to place over the factory markings, to show boost from 0 to 25psi. Then intercept the wire going to the gauge and connect it to my own electronics. The electronics are a simple pressure sensor and the circuitry needed to create (and calibrate) the signal to coorespond to the voltages needed by the gauge. Early testing shows the gauge uses a very narrow voltage range close to zero.
Also, I thought it would be a good idea to build a stealth boost controller (based on a Basic Stamp or similar microcontroller) that controls boost via the stock cycling valve.

Tom,
Ahead of you pal... well kinda behind also... I looked into this last year, you can recalibrate the in-dash gauge you read + atm boost, i.e. 2 bar will be 2 bar of boost as we know it. Find the circuit on the cluster and work out the voltage and you are away. We found the pin last year but never had time to do the project and I got a VDO gauge as I wanted to see vacuum as well.

These are things I would actually buy. No reason to spout about things I'm not willing to fork over my own cash for.
1) Coil on plug ignition without standalone. Hopefully this is coming as an option to the Vitesse wasted spark setup?
2) A cheaper MAF conversion, such as one using a 75mm Ford MAF and some sort of calibration chip/electronics. It would be nice if I could continue to use the stock airbox as well.
3) A super-quick spool turbo upgrade. Probably a GT28RS. Those are good for about 350hp+ and might spool around 2500rpm. I think some sort of MAF conversion is probably advisable for quick spooling as well, but at $1k for the turbo and $200 for a Ford MAF, there would still be plenty leftover to spend on software. This car is fast enough for me as is. What I could use is some more low/mid end torque.
4) A full LED dash lighting upgrade. Not just the instrument cluster, but the whole thing. It looks a bit 80s for my taste.
5) A modification for the stock intake manifold to even out flow between the cylinders. I send out my manifold, get it flow-matched/hogged out/etc for $X, and it comes back flowing evenly. A DIY would be great as well.

I'd take a sequential 6 speed gearbox. Dog drive fully floating rotors would be cool for all 4 corners too. A decent fuel cell that offered a good compromise between capacity and location (low CG) that did not require a 2nd mortgage.

E-manage ultimate can tune with wideband. I dont know does it work in our cars. seems that noone uses it, dont know why? It is the closest thing to standalone.
I would love to see a piggy back that can self tune with a wide band sensor.
