our car and many customers cars have had great success with the Ver.1 kit. even with the "cheated radius" of the upper downpipe coming out of the turbine housing. our car made 520awhp stock on a mustang dyno....
however, every time i made one of those cheated cuts, i would curse myself....
so, we have "retired" our Ver.1 evo8 kit and have redeveloped a better performing kit in ever aspect.



as for pricing, the Ver.2 kit (topmount) is not as pricey as most would think. please feel free to pm us for all pricing inquiries.

here's a few other projects we're working on here at the shop right now:




so, to say that 2 of our previous production welders were our designers is just a statement full of misinformation.

if you believe everything you read, then I used to work at Full-Race, just ask Geoff....

Since your the one who "designed" the Peakboost ver. 2 topmount manifold what are its advantages over a bottom mount? I thought some of the benefits of a topmount were the ability to run a larger turbo, a larger downpipe, etc. Does your ver. 2 allow for such? Theres got to be some reason you chose to go topmount other than just cosmetics, especially since you were so against topmounts a year ago ("There just a Bandwagon")....Just a few "production" welders looking for some pointers

Wait...i'd really like to learn the benefits of re-routing the wastegate into the DP so early at an almost 90 Deg angle...

Volume per runner

this is the reason i am so frustrated with competition these days I have the ver 1 peakboost manifold not even installed yet and then they come out with a ver 2 that doesn't dump to the atmosphere and draw attention to me. Crap my addiction is pricey and it is wearing me thin.

selling revolvers new in box with valve train PM me

I think it's because one used to work for the other, and they both have their differences of opinion's.

PeakBoost care to answer why the topmount design is a better performing one than the regular orientation, and is that a 42R going on a bike?
