We should have pricing and a press release early January.

The sizing is very similar. Yes, the Garrett turbos are ball bearing, but both the GT2860RS turbos and the 16g's flow the same amount of air.

There are some other differences between the kits as well. The MHI kits use a pair of smaller intercoolers that keep the bumper beam intact as opposed to the much larger intercooler used in the Garrett kits that ultimately deletes the bumper beam.

The philosophy behind the MHI based kit is different from the Garrett based kit.

The Garrett based kit was designed with the idea of it being scalable from 500hp all the way up to 1300hp. As such, there were certain compromises that had to be made to give the system the headroom to accommodate such high power capability. The MHI kit is designed to be more of an entry level system with the idea that most end users of this kind of kit will not be building the engine for more power later on down the road and as a result, will not need the headroom for big turbos.
