Yes! The car drives much better and you can notice a huge difference in how the motor breaths now . It has better spool and a killer top-end . The roads down here are now filled with High way patrol so I haven't really got on it too hard other than a few pulls . I will be taking it to the track and on the way there we have some nice roads to run on

I would say just hold on and see how far we can take the stock turbo , I have a good feeling about this car . Trust me we can make a turbo kit tomorrow for this car ,but I think that 90% of the folks out there will be more than happy with the stocker for a long time to come . Right now we're running 12.1 at almost 112mph on just 21-24lbs of boost untuned ,the car has a ton left ... Or we can just make you a custom kit of your choice next week

hahaha. yes. I want to see what this turbo maxes out at and I wouldn't mind knowing what the engine pops at. Although I know this is an extremely static number.

I plan on doing a build soon so I don't think I'll see it pop anytime soon . I think that the stock turbo with a bit of work can put out some nice numbers , I plan on being stock turbo for some time to come

sure will man . I just have this thing about first testing everything out well BEFORE selling anything to anyone .. Its not always the case that bigger is better or jsut because a parts cost X amount it "must be good" .. I've been matching-up the parts we're making to get maximum gains and so far its been working just fine .. I'll be sure to keep you guys posted as we soon should have some parts up for sale .

i can't tell you for sure if it's stainless or not but it IS an exact mirror image of the previous stock mani. by mirror i mean it's the same but with the turbo flange shifted to the other side of the mani

i'm eager to see some numbers. you guys plan on making these with any other flanges? t3-t4 perhaps?

We have sent all our time at the track but so we plan on seeking out some dyno numbers for you guys . And yes we do plan on making some headers and complete turbo kits for the X in the very near future .
