Sweet new 50trim kit!
Sweet new 50trim kit!
What do you think of this 50trim kit? It's from VIP Garage here in DC. To me, the build quality and materials look really good... A guy here in DC put this kit on his car and put down 401whp on STRAIGHT pump gas at 22psi with a pretty conservative tune. The kit comes with everything, and seems like a steal at under $4k installed @ VIP! some pics:

Most people don't realize that in a stock bottom end car on pump gas there is a limit of how much power you can run so a huge turbo will only give you huge lag and the same power as a smaller turbo like this one
The spool up is before 4,000 or at 4,000 depending on the load
No lag between shifts
A great street / road racing set up
I loved it
Great job VIP

Manifold fit well, looked nice and responded well to a conservative tune. Picked up over 100whp from 17 to 22psi with flashing. Not much else you could ask for.
Infact I liked it so much, I'm talking with Martin about having a manifold done for my 2G.
Good job guys

Viet has this kit on his car, though. It's way badass, and such a good deal... especially for the quality of the kit.
