You dont need to buy a kit. a few plumbing bits and a shrader valve does the trick (And a compressor with tyre inflater). You just need a end cap that fits in where your maf connects to the TIP.

i thought of doing that but i just thought for the price of the kit it saved me the hassle

It's all in the advertising. Same thing but for less than a fiver.
