Default sts turbo for hemi ram

i have a couple of questions:
1. does the sts kit come with a BOV
2. what do i need to run 7 psi (i know i need meth kit and plan on getting one) besides the sts kit or is it set up for 7 psi already.
thanks for any help you can give me

The kit comes with both the BOV and wastegate. You will also need 8 larger fuel injectors and some form of tuning, whether it be SCT or a SMT-6 piggyback. The wastegate comes with a 5 psi spring so that will be the boost limit unless you also get an optional boost controller to raise the pressure.

The sts kit does not include a BOV. A BOV is extra.

It is set up for 5lbs boost. To make 7lbs you have to get a boost controller.

You don't need meth injection if you get an intercooler.

My 04 did not like the smt-6. I now have the sct tuner, not the pre-progammed progammer.

You will also need larger injectors and a 2BAR MAP sensor.
