Major, major lag... also, less boost with same size turbo given all the extra volume of piping that has to fill... nicer in theory than in reality. Best thing about

Best thing about this is no intercooler needed, but seriously not worth it. Maybe if this was somehow set up as part of a twincharge design with a big roots blower under the hood to get the car moving... I dunno, that or some nitrous.

I looked more into it and in my opinion is kind of a ripoff. I'd rather just do the Stillen kit. They were going to use my vehicle as a test mule for their bolt on kit and still wanted like $8800, and were going to keep it for a month. More expensive than the Stillen kit and I don't have to lose the car for a month...no thanks I'd rather just put a dp on a GTR.

That being said, I still am itching to just buy their starter single turbo and throw it on, but I don't have enough experience to buy it now and build that baby myself. Maybe in the winter when the car is outta commission for 4 months anyways. My primary motivation is just about 400-450 rwhp for under $4-$5k, which I know is asking a lot, but this seems like the most plausible means of accomplishing that.

I'm expecting 450whp @4psi for about $5-8k. I'm also expecting Vida Guerra to knock on my door with a check for $100 mil
