NIEVO and VWJeff have just run 10.60's and low 11's at 131mph and 127mph respectively on stock block/head cars.
As far as the Hafe manifold, I know lately we have been selling a bunch of the manifold and o2 combo's - people seem to be having good luck putting there own kits together - but please - this is not for the occasional weekend warrior, you need to know what you are doing!

you are right however that there are some good vendors on here.
When I saw the cost of the ETS T3 kits I took immediate interest. I had always wanted an AMS 35r kit, but I couldn't convince myself to swing the cost of their kit when there are other high quality kits out there for much less money. Since ETS hit the forums I had been following them and have been completely impressed with their product line. Upon calling them and speaking to Tom, their sales manager, I was definitely sold. Respect and customer service will take you a long way in any business, that is why I chose ETS
I couldn't be happier.

Yah i have been hearing a lot of good things about ETS but then again every other vendor seems to back up their product that has replied in this thread. I know each one will be giving their spew to sell their product and im the kind of person who would rather go with something know one else has used or tried and find out how it is. But im not going to buy a kit that has had everyone bashing it with either ****ty customer service or just a bad product. Im interested in a few but the Peak Boost kit is the most un-complete kit but you get such a sick header and you get the important stuff and you can buy the other stuff seperate they at least give you that option and just dont leave you hanging to find it on your own.
Naturally yes, all the vendors will try to sell you on their product, however, certain vendors carry themselves with a much different demeanor. Ultimately the decision is yours
I know a lot of you guys think of me as this guy that owns a shop and sells parts, which of course I am that guy. There is something that many of you are missing. Last year I owned 15 cars (I say last year because I have sold a few in the last year) those 15 cars range from 1949 to 2007. I own two vehicles that are NOT modified, my new truck and my wife's Endeavor. So of the other 13 vehicles I own I modified everyone of them. This makes me a consumer just like you guys and it makes me a consumer on cars that I don't know everything about (unlike the DSM/EVO's).
When I shop for parts I don't want to be someone's test bed for their parts. I look around at who's who in the industry, pick the company setting records or building the trickest baddest stuff and buy from them. It is quite baffling to me how someone can want to buy something "cheap" or "unproven" with their money. I say this not just with EVO's and the fact that I'd like to sell you OUR proven parts but I say it from the side of a guy who builds all kinds of cool stuff for himself and has to shop around.
Going off the beaten path in a market such as the EVO market might make your car a little more unique than one that was built solely with our parts or AMS's (or others who offer it all) but I will put money on it that you won't be setting any records either. Not everyone is trying to set a record, understandably, but why not get the most performance you can for your money?
Just some insight. Do with it what you will.
Have a great day.

I dunno you always seem to be saying the right stuff Dave. Not like i know you but you seem to treat everyone here the equal and try and give the best advice or insight to someones question. I was debating but i think im going to be leaning towards BR 3065R Kit.
As stated we do not include an air intake because it is included in the first 2 stages of upgrades that you should have before you even think about doing a turbo upgrade. If you do not already have an intake you do NOT need a turbo upgrade. We recommend having at least our stages 1-4 before considering a turbo upgrade.
LICP: The turbo kits come with a turbo outlet pipe which may require you to come up with a lower intercooler pipe solution. Lower IC pipes such as the ones from AMS and Nisei do work with our turbo kits as well as our lower IC pipes from our deluxe and race FMIC kits.
I just wanted to clear that up.
P.S. - The comment of Ifarted2 making over 1000hp with the ETS turbos is irrelevant in this thread as that was NOT a 35R. Whats the best time one of the ETS 35R kits ran? How about HP #'s? Does anyone know?
