The clamps were either too big or too small for the hoses and I had leaks as a result. I really wish I gone with my gut and bought the Dieselsite filter. I've got it on my 7.3 and it's a much better design.

Splash67 just did this, I bought the sinister coolant filter, but have since regretted it with the design and issues I had with it.

I will read more reviews of the Sinister and compare them to Dieselsite. Thanks for the heads up.

The coolant filter is my only gripe, the rest of the kit is worthwhile.

I went with the OEM update kit. If I remember right I think it includes the turbo feed and drain oil lines, the "Blue Spring" upgrade, the degas bottle top (coolant bottle top), new stand pipes, and dummy plugs.

You can pay WAY more than you should for it at Advance Auto Parts

You can go to Autozone where they may not have it

Another vote for SCT. Gauges are a must. Digitals are fine, but make sure you get something that can accept input from a fuel pressure transducer. A heavy foot, with aggressive tunes will kill your pressure, which can do serious damage to your injectors.

Once you have that, you'll get better software(custom tunes) from someone else. Its usually easier to get it all from your tuner of choice(Eric,Matt,etc).

Nope, was wondering about the actual kit as I have never heard of it before. The caps I can get at walmart or amazon
