If you look at the link he provided you will see that is ranges from $3450 to $3850 and 450 HP to 550 HP depending on the options you chose.

PS: What I like.... cast manifold. What I don't like.... cost compared to Buschur Racing. Still a hell of a lot cheaper than HK$ though!

Does the kit come with larger injectors? I didn't see them on the website. Manifold looks nice.

No, the injectors are sold separate. I've spoken to Roshan several times on the phone and they are currently running 480whp on stock block and stock internals with Denso 720cc injectors, HKS 272 intake and exhaust cams, and AEM EMS. Daily driven, the hard part is the clutch.

They have the prototype on their car right now. They are supposed to be on sale to the public before the end of the month....and I will be at BR on the 26th of Feb for some installation work and my AEM EMS....if the turbo is for sale by that date I will buy one and have it put on at the same time as the other upgrades

Good luck Fourdoor. Let us know how it comes out. Nonmature it's not installed yet, I'm waiting for it to come back from the porting and polishing but I'll let you all know when it's done.
