When they first started advertising their kit they claimed it would be an equal length manifold, now they claim its an option? what up with that ? Now an extra $600? Major screw up guys.

Equal length manifolds do make a big difference.. the purpose of equal lengths is to ensure that the pulses of the combustion reach the turbine at a fixed equidistant time... so the turbine will spool up faster.. smoother... however do look at turbine outlets.. these are cup like things that attach on the turbine that prevents/minimises the wastegate/actuator outlet gas from disrupting the main outlet flow of the turbine (when your turbine dumps gas, the stock outlet actually creates turbulence in front of the downpipe and actually retards the turbine)....

He's selling the equal length manifold kit at the price he was always going to, then he made a non equal length mani kit to be much cheaper. Be grateful he made the option.

The equal lengths are significantly harder to fabricate.

Equal length spool is not its benefit, its real benefit are the harmonics at higher RPM's. It can be a decent power increase....4-8% is within reason...

We are in the process of doing lots of testing and tuning with these turbo set ups. We should had very solid results to give to you guys in the next week.



I don't want to say anything until all the testing is completed.



We will have all the updated and revised pricing for 2004 on the web site in the next day.

Maybe I'm the only complainer here, but this thread started two weeks ago and its showed almost everything put together and ready to go. Well, what is the hold up? How does it run? What are its dyno numbers? I thiink Mr. Bubbler is really patient.

Mr. Bubbler already has his car. There were a couple thing that held up his car like backordred HKS cams, coated manifold and underdrive pulleys.



I heard before he was putting a sound system in it before he went to tune it with the EMS. I don't know if he still palsn on doing this. Hopefully he will be able to get it tuned pretty soon.

Also we now have all updated pricing for 2004 on our web site. We are very confident that you will be very happy with some of the prices of the turbo kits. Figuring you can now get a kit for under $2000.

I knew there would be some people that are pretty happy about bolting on 500whp potential for under $2000.
