Neither "kit" is a fully developed bolt-on package. Both of them require extensive work and fabrication to get them installed correctly. They are merely a starting point.
My personal opinion is that you would be better off to find a reputable shop to develop a custom setup to meet your needs. The total time and cost will be about the same as using either "kit."

Ben, DO NOT get a Hal kit, if you do, prepare to throw alot more money to fix the issues. I have one, and all I do is fix the shiet.
Erik, Honestly I would not create a vent tube, just leave it the way it is. It will just throw the exhaust out of the side when it reaches max boost according to the spring or boost controller. I dont even have a tube or anything hooked upto it. It flat out vents from there. No problems. Unless you are a greenpeace person and you want to dump it back down into the downpipe, have fun, me I could care less.

He bought a PFI kit. Hal doesnt sell kits, he just installs crappy ones.
Erik, I dont think noise should be an issue, I shouldve taken you out in my car, you cant hear the blowoff from the wastegate. Even on the dyno you could barely notice it. More noise coming from the exhaust itself you dont hear it much.

bad part about a custom kit, i dont have the time to fab it, and there arnt any shops around here i would trust. I would probably have to leave it in NYC or LI for a week or two, which im not to comfortable with. Anyways did anyone do their own? i can weld (not that great, but ok) i have turbo experience. i think i could do the project for like 2000 or 1500, anyone else try it?

Windows up, radio on, going from about 50-80 on the freeway. I need to at least vent it down and away from where it currently dumps, even if it doesn't affect the noise.

It sounds like a loud FART!!!!
Plus, the noise attracts
attention.

Hahaha..... it aint that bad Alex, I think its really more about how it is positioned. Alot of people dont believe mine is blowing straight from the wastegate. The louding sucking noise from the turbo kinda overwhelms that noise.
Wish I taped my car on the dyno with my video cam so I could let yall hear it, but then again that aint a true representation.
