Never heard of them.. I would never want a header that points the turbo in that direction. Thats would hurt HP.

I use to have a dyno graph when it was tuned at dynocomp but it put down 456at 30psi on 100 octane. I bought the car a few months after the build but I honestly didnt notince any turbo lag like everyone thought. It was at full spool at 4500rpm. it's for sale because I want something different. Im runin a 9 turbo setup right now on E85 which honestly is really fun and alot different than having a big turbo.But I will get something different in the future when this gets old

456 at 30 psi on 100?! I'm making 430 at 24psi on 93. Doesn't seem too effecient, original maybe, but not effecient.

I have herd of them. Been to the shop before, do not remember owners name but I do remember him being a very nice person. Also remember that he has some crazy engineering degree. all the stuff that he tries are his crazy ideas.
When I visited the shop he had an old calloway vett that he was doing a twin setup on, was pretty sick.

wanna give what a review? but yea the numbers didn't look good to me either,but yea the guys name is Robert, he's the owner, and he does have alot of crazy ideas as you can see. And yea the hood closes and the piping is secured nice....theres really no where for it to go if it did fall off. But no never had a problem with it and it did spool at 4500 for a 37/40R. And a quick reminder for all of these guys from places where they have 93 octane. The weather there is alot cooler than here in Arizona, and we only have 91 at the pump and E85 at some or 100 for 8 dollars a gallon. so our numbers will always be smaller, but I'm not sticking up for the numbers on my kit, remember I bought it like that and took it off,so......but yea it looks great

You have to ask WHY? Why all that piping? Why move everything ? Why create more heat under the hood? I even looked at the Grand National kit, they reposition the turbo on it also, and it was in the perfect spot from the factory. I just dont understand, Maybe just for the oooohhh when you pop the hood.
