^ A few questions tom.
1. So can you guys possibly make that intake pipe for the stock box? Or are you planning on making one? I would be all over this kit if it fit the stock box...

2. I'll definitely be one getting the optional heatshield too. Any pics of that yet or is it still in the making?

3. I'm still trying to decide between the 50trim BB precision turbo and the new 3076 hta turbo from FP... Both look great its just whether I want to spend the extra $500 for the FP turbo. Have you used any of the new hta 3076's yet? How is the spool compared to the Ball bearing 50 trim if I were to use the smaller .62a/r housing? I mean the hta has a rating of 57lbs a min so i'd expect some more power outta that turbo but does it spool a lot later? Whats the 50 trim rated at? I'd assume they're pretty close in spool but i'd expect some more power from the hta... I'm doin road racing so what do you think is best for me?

 

Thanks again Brandon! I'm looking forward to seeing your stuff installed



We don't offer a stock airbox option but do offer an adapter package for the AEM intake since it is CARB approved.

The heatshield is still in development but will be a very nice piece for more stealth appearance!

Spool on a 50-trim ball-bearing turbo (54mm compressor wheel) will be a fair bit faster than a GT3076R (57mm compressor wheel) just based on sheer size, but you'll also see between 60-70whp difference at peak output between the two (50-trim is rated to 46lbs/min. From my personal driving experience I feel that the 3076R platform is extremely streetable and offers a very good combination of spool, response and top end if you have plans for 25-30psi at some point. If you'll never exceed 25psi and plan on pump gassin' it for life then the 50-trim will offer the best powerband and most area under the curve of the two.

Nice! Brandon. Let me know how soon you will be doing this stuff and maybe we can go get tuned together. My car is finally up and running.

 

Are there any power differrences between the equal length and non-equal length?

 

Power difference between the two manifolds will only be at the very limit of a given turbocharger's potential and that will equate to 3-5% in that case.

Hey tom, any pics of the heatshields that were in production for this kit? Have you guys fabricated one up yet?
