Just wanted to let you guys know what I found out about Dave's wastegate nipple:
They don't come with the wastegates when we buy them. I asked Ron at the shop where Dave's was and turns out they aren't included. Reason? There are several different size vacuum lines and they just leave it up to the customer to buy them to fit their needs. I'm going to source a place to buy a bunch of them and let the customer specify what size and I'll include them. Sorry for and inconveniences.

Justin, do you have a regular account or a Premium account? I ask because my daily limits are a lot higher than what you mention, and I have a premire account using a Paypal card they sent me. Same as a debit card with the logo and all, and I can use it the same as a credit card, the balance is just pulled from the Paypal balance. I suggest you upgrade to this PRIOR to continuing this group buy, otherwise it may be christmas before you can get enough money out for 5 kits...
My Paypal card:
Daily limits:
Spending: $3,000
ATM: $400

Dave, thanks for the feedback. I appreciate your patience.
Martin has had the kit on order for some time now. There were a few factors that contributed to the delay initially.. He initially put down 1200.00 to get us started. That alone would have covered the turbo and the wastegate HOWEVER, paypal would not let us withdraw more than 500.00 per MONTH from our account. Unfortunately, being a small shop doesn't give you much money to buy things with, so with 500.00 we could only get hardware. No turbo (925.00). Martin gave us another 500.00 a few weeks later to cover more parts. Unfortunately, THAT 500 was all by itself again as it hadn't been a month yet so we couldn't get anything out of paypal... I mistakenly told Martin that we had ordered his turbo, when in reality, we didn't. Bad communication between me and the shop. After another couple of weeks, martin paid the rest (8xx.00) and we ordered the turbo. What sucks is STILL there is 200 bucks locked up in Paypal that we can't use. We had to pay for that portion of the Jet-Hot out of pocket. It's just been a REAL mess. I've done my best to keep everyone informed. MArtins kit is moving now, and I HOPE we get it out really soon. That depends on turn around time at Jet-Hot.
I told Martin to feel free and post his experience. I've learned that in the past, people don't say how they feel until way after the fact.. It's better to get it out and let me deal with it. I don't want anything left out.
This will all be fixed soon, and you both will be pushing 450HP IBM FD's.
If anyone has any questions or comments, PLEASE don't hold back. I'm completely aware that we have missed a few areas and it's only fair that people know.
