Manifold is done!!! Can't release any info on it yet but it is done. We are going to try and integrate the cat into the downpipe for those who wish to keep it. This install will be amazingly easy except for taping the pan. That will be the hardest part, (although I wouldn't call it hard by any means). I will have Brian post up a pic with a SRT-4 turbo compared to the one we are using. That should give you guys a real reference on the turbo size. It is physically the same size as my new 700+ turbo for my integra.

Prototype kit should be runnig on the car by end of next week, then just a little dyno and street time on the wideband. We will be ready to take orders!!!!

Thanks

That Neon turbo always makes me laugh. They integrated EVERYTHING right there, didn't they? And it looks kinda ... cute, next to the AGP monster.

The turbo kit should make 240 or 250whp and maybe 200 torque.

The turbo would be better to increase torque and horsepower. turbos blow engines, depending on the company that makes them. So be careful.

dam you live close to me

Turbos blow engines about as much as nitrous or blowers do. We have never lost a customer motor by either building or tuning them. It is not the power adder that blows the cars but the ability to turn up the boost so easily or the lack of proper fueling/too much timing. We have numerous 300 hp stock motored 4 cylinder cars living happily. That is due to proper engine management. Which is why the kit WILL NOT be released untill we have every aspect of it accounted for. We will include everything people will need to safely boost thier cars. We get at least one car a day that a custmer has not install something properly and thus the car has problems. We do a LOT of fixing other peoples mistakes. Trust me, it is far easier to repair normal everyday cars as opposed to chasing peoples messes.


On another note. There will be multiple options available to everybody. Color of silicone adapters, vacuum line, piping color, Jet-Hot coating, catalytic convertor, external dump wastegate, You get the idea. Multiple upgradeable stages, so people can upgrade the kit as they see fit and money permits. It is hard to dump 7k into a kit capable of producing 500 HP at one time. We are ging to offer a reasonably well priced kit that can be upgraded in relatively small and inexpensive stages. Along the way we will be staging our car up one step in front of everybody. The car will not go full blown race car but I can forsee a respectable 300-400 HP daily driven street TC.
