I think they make some packing errors every once in a while at BEGi, I have a piece that I have no freaking Idea what it is for just sitting on the shelf of my desk that was apparantly intended for another kit/project or whatever.
Oh and I hope you like turbolag, cuz you are gonna get a bit of it on your setup ... I have plenty on my 2554, and would not want any larger

as long as I make about 12psi at 4000, my expectations will be met. Hopefully the 3" exhuast will help.

This compressor housing does not look the same as my GT2560R from Limit Engineering (same as FM's GT28R). From Garrett the compressor has a 2-bolt flanged inlet/ 3-bolt flanged outlet. Limit Eng. machines these flanges into standard barb'ed pipes. This is not what is in the picture, so I'd think it's not a GT2560 in either Garrett trim or FM trim. Maybe it is a GT28RS with the large inlet cut off and a smaller inlet welded on?
Am I the only one who doesn't like BEGI's transitions and their flex joint?
But I'm still glad you finally got a kit

Why do BEGI's pipes look like they are spraypainted? Let us see the stainless welds!!!! Man I love a nice bead with a nice even discoloration. Don't paint or polish the weld area.
Unless the welds suck and it's obvious. But I doubt that from BEGI!
Right?
FWIW, everything I've gotten from BEGI has been top-notch.

Yep. Kinda looks like pipes you get in a chinese turbo kit. By cleaning the pipe after welding they make it look...I dunno...less clean? It doesn't really matter as long as the welds don't crack. The pipe will turn colors after a few heat cycles anyways.
Actually no, chinese welds are ground smooth so you can't even see them, while the inside of the pipe is all full of slag. Boo.

the weld on the inside lip of that flange is beautiful. I'll take a shot tomorrow since it's off....The thing has turned to a purplish hue, however it's dirty and full of water/salt/sand spots
