    I'd go for the alloy, it's likely to be the lightest and will hold up for the inlet side.

    For the exhaust manifold definitely want a steel blanking plate for the heat.

    As mentioned above I also went with the Allards unit due to the included threaded fixing for the turbo boost pressure gauge.

    I did the drilling at work and welded it up at home. 6mm plate and 2 1/4" exhaust pipe. Easy and only cost me the electricity to weld it up.

    I ended up going for the Allard kit simply because it has a spigot for a boost gauge and I like the historic associations of the brand. It also looks pretty damn good bolted up to the intake manifold

    The boost gauge spigot on these, what difference does that make (most kits don't have this), does that stop you having to plug the hole in your air filter box?

    Nothing to do with the air box. The threaded spigot is used to attach a sender unit for an aftermarket boost gauge.

    You can get similar information from the ECU using a Nanocom, but it's useful if you want a dedicated display or are planning on using something like the Innovate Motorsports or PLX Devices logging gauges to help tweak fuel mapping.
