Yeah the canister is an oil sump tank for the turbos and the pump is to pump the oil back to the oil pan since the turbos sit low and farther back out of the engine bay. The downpipes are 2.5". THe outlet on the turbos is 2.5" so it should be plenty. I didnt order it with an emanage or anything b/c i already have the HKS F-con Vpro waiting. I would have to find the price again, i added extra things like polished piping and got ball bearing turbos
i just got off the phone w/ the owner/installer here in San Diego, CA. the kit sounds really good and is a custom job. he said he can interchange parts for the individual customer (i.e. turbos, wastegate routing, more stuff i didnt understand) this way, you can either be a track abuser, like me, or a dyno queen, for those of you who are. he is more knowledgeable and customer friendly than any other turbo shop i have ever called. the kits are custom ordered, (4 weeks) and the install takes 5 days. he is running a low psi w/ high numbers. he will let you drive his car to make the choice of either having the blow off valves re-routed or put into the atmosphere.... looks like i will be going for his kit this spring. =)
If you want to know more about the maker of this kit, check out the the 2005 summer issue of Sport Z Magazine. Speed Force Racing (SFR) let us test his kit on a beautiful red G35 coupe. Tim does a great job and is willing to customize the kit to fit your needs. As I stated in the article regarding the SFR kit "Custom turbo kit philosophy comes to the masses". His stainless steel tubular exhaust manifolds are a work of art.

Wow. I built a custom turbo kit for my last car and I must say that SFR's work is amazing. Those manifolds are beautiful and all the IC piping is bead-rolled.
You are going to put out some great numbers with the FCON. Great choice on kit and engine management.
