Seems to be an pretty wide range of opinions here. I'm
still very undecided on who's tuning the car.

Very true he does but lets not get into the shout out of tuners because Junior from The Shop in Norwalk and PeteyTurbo from Krazy House Customs are also very good tuners well who am I kidding probably 2 of the best tuners in the tri-state especially when it comes to tuning big reliable horsepower

I'm going to call a few tuners today and make my final decision.

Me too man. I wish I had more time to play with her. I own a few businesses that are doing really well at the moment, so my free time is very limited. It's a good problem I guess, but still a bit frusterating. Seems like the more money I make the less time I have.

Wow, I really like it. I'd like to go this route once the Evo is paid off and I'm done with stock appearing turbos.

Great stuff, very nice part selection and like that black valve cover. A+!

When you see an all out drag evo you probably notice the runners are huuuge. Same concept I believe. It's also esthetically pleasing



Anytime. Mike@AWD suggested it. Said he thought it would best suite what I was trying to do with my car.
increasing runner size/ length has similar effects to increasing turbine size. Although the effects aren't as drastic longer runners yield top end but cost spool and vica versa for shorter runners. Shouldn't do anything for transient response.... no lift shifting would tho haha.

I'm not done paying mine off. I have very little left to pay on it, but I keep the payment to help my credit stand up. Everything I've ever owned I've paid off very quickly. I paid for my first house in 6 months, I payed my first car pament (RSX) in less then a year. The note I have on my businesses are all almost paid. I thought this was the way to go, but my banker told me my creidt would suffer from this. Treason I say!

Interesting. I had never head that before. I did a good bit of research too before I bought it. The guy that owned the kit before me made 706awhp on c16, but he had a COMPLETELY stock up end (IM, TB, head, I believe he had cams). I'm hoping for much the same.

Straight from Peakboost Everyone.

The Peakboost HVS Topmount is better because of a couple simple reasons.

1. The "HVS"on the kit is nothing more than high volume speed. That is the longer collector given.

2. The top mount has longer runners. By having such longer runners paired up with the hvs style top mount that helps keep boost during shifting. Those long runners hold up the volume speed. So instead of losing the boost then building it back up, it helps aid in this.


20gmr - please stop spreading misinformation.

Yeah your probly right... Should just read what they put in the ads and beleive that 100%. I don't see why you would want to understand how it works or why.

Your explanation isn't even an explanation, its a qoute from the company saying it works. I sell metric vice grips if you are looking for a set
