My favorite lines:
"Now you dont have to worry about being left at the stop light by every econobox that has an intake and exhaust on it.The days of cringing everytime a Mustang or Camaro pulls up and flexes its v-8 muscle are long gone."
Made me laugh out loud. The 350/G35 one was the only one with a dyno chart.

THis project, like most other turbo '8 projects, has been discussed in the tech garage or MS/Performance forum. If you want to see why most people aren't enthralled, do a search.

my bad, there is an optional EMS system ... but I wonder why its "optional" and not mandatory as part of the kit. Someone should call them and see how they're testing their install commercial kit .. things like reliability, I wouldn't imagine buying this kit and having the motor croak in a year or so.
I wonder what they did for a EMS system. Piggyback? or complete swap? and if it a complete swap, what things don't work anymore as a result of that swap out.

I can't accept the idea of a turbocharger being mounted right in front of the engine. I can see the alternator and accessory belts melting or cracking away real soon. The poor hawker battery probably won't stand much of a chance of keeping a charge with so much heat in close proximity. If you look at the kit laid out, there's eight or so bent pipes that need to snake its way throughout the engine bay. This, in my opinion, is too much.

Not the best layout for a turbo kit.... too many bends and not very well thought out.
"attention to detail" my ***, seems the only thing they really paid attention to is how quickly they could get the thing onto the market to increase their profits.
I can guarantee you that having this setup will eventually lead to auxilary component failures inside the engine bay... so yes, it is a "quick bang for your bucks!"
P.S. Not hating, just educating.
