I guess these things may be hit or miss. Maybe the first gen kit had a lot more issues w fitment. I have a newer, revised kit. Base 60 mm turbos, forged motor, pro m maf, E85. Thru gt500 mufflers and cutouts open it made 1050 SAE or 860 uncorrected at 5400 feet physical elevation. I ran out of injector and hurt the motor a while later at a lower track. now it's back together with proper valve springs and 1300's on the way. Curious how much these little 60's will do.
Now for the product review. It's BS having to buy a maf to go with the dinky intake tube.
It does not inspire confidence when the first big parts to go on don't fit. Yes, you may have to hog the turbo manifold bolt holes out. The insides of the manifolds were pretty nasty.
Despite the big IC the IAT's get a little warm. I've seen 170 on 15+ psi.
I drive the car a lot and have already put around 6K miles on the kit since March.. we shall see how it holds up.
