I see there is no flex section or provisions for movement on the down pipe. Curious as to what your thoughts were on engine movement and the effects on the header / down pipe? Turbo support bracket? What kind of warranty is on the kit?

There is not. We've torture tested our EVOs in 105 degree heat by holding a steady 5000rpm in neutral with it parked for several minutes without being able to even budge coolant temps. This was verified through an AEM serial gauge connected to an AEM EMS rather than the stock gauge for accuracy. For that reason we didn't want to increase the price of the kit, even nominally, for the cost of the fan. If you'd like to have a fan for peace of mind, we're happy to include a slim electric fan for $29.
1killertsi is correct, that is our stock battery UICP. Both that UICP and our 3" intercooler would be $685 or $805 with it and our 3.5" intercooler. The turbo kit includes the lower piping which makes it an awesome deal to add an intercooler kit!
uglyevo is correct that it is a Tial 38mm with the T3 kits and a Tial 44mm in our T4 kits. Dual 38mm Tials are included in our 42R kit.
PM'ed pricing for both T3 and T4 35R kits
The o2 bung you can see is the optional wideband bung (no charge). The factory o2 bung is on the V-band o2 housing out of sight in the picture.
We aim for the most possible clearance to tie bars, ACD, etc (no rattling, rubbing or otherwise) with our downpipes, so no flex section is used. Using one would make our lives far easier because tolerances for fabrication would be far less tight. The flex section does allow for both end connections and hangers to mate up more easily and it would cut production time a fair bit, though we're willing to put in the time for superior clearance. Our dedication to clearance and tight tolerance is shown in our T4 kit downpipe pictured here:

Space is more than extremely tight when trying to fit a 3.5” pipe down a channel that was originally designed to house one well less than 3” in diameter but we overcome that issue with our fabrication process that allows us a .030” tolerance on all planes.
To prove our confidence in everything we develop and produce, all of our products carry a lifetime warranty. We stand behind everything we build 100% so we back it for life. The turbocharger is warrantied directly through Precision Turbo & Engine who've been more than reasonable for our customers and for us with what they cover in the rare instance of a failed turbo; one of the many reasons we include their turbochargers in our kits.
Our development car and beta testers will have dyno numbers very soon. For the most part we expect them to be in line with what's been produced on each of the given turbochargers in the other good kits, we just build 100% quality, back it for life and price it such that it's the most affordable way to do things right

Tom, you guys really have it going on over there and you will definitely be rewarded with the way you all think and do business. Congradulations, I can't wait to see the results and am looking forward to the likelihood of doing business with you in the near future.

Are you telling me I can ditch my factory fan completely LOL. I already ditched the one in front of the A/C condensor since I realized it didnt do a damn thing except add 5lbs to the front of my car.

Hahah, it's a definite maybe 
I think the ETS 35r and the HFS-5 would be a great combo 
What do you think Tom?? The looks and prices of these kits are impressing me. Can't wait to see the results.

I think I need to hop in a DeLorean, flip on my flux capacitor and turn back time a few months... I'm on an RNR 50 trim kit and to put it bluntly, the ETS kits look/seem *MUCH* nicer, plus there are many options... Way to go guys, I know if/when I am in the market for a turbo kit again I'll be turning to ETS!

the amount of heat you would generate if you were to actually load the motor like on a road course (extreme test) or driving in stop & go traffic (less extreme) would be more realistic, IMO. Its good you will include an electric fan for $29, I just hope it would pull the same CFM as the stocker does.

Tom, not picking on you here so don't take it that way, however, I'm sure you know that holding the RPM @ 5k for several minutes while parked is not really a test of anything because there is no load on the motor.

When you're driving the hell out of the car in the scenarios you mentioned, it's getting lots of airflow to the radiator whereas when parked there is no airflow. Really the best way to torture test the car would be no fans and on the dyno, but that simulates a situation you'd never encounter in the real world I've driven my car (and almost all of our customers have) for the last year and a half without the AC fan and haven't had a problem. It's pretty moot really with the fact that we offer a fan w/ installation kit that pushes 1250CFM for $29 so you can add the peace of mind for less than a tank of gas if that is your preference
