1)Do you know if the turbo's are top mounted (like HallTech) or bottom feeders (like LPE, TTi,etc).

2)What size turbo's come standard with the kit? Can it be installed by a DIYer or only by an authorized installer?

3)Do you know what the projected hp of the kit is, and if it comes with any fuel system upgrades or boost controllers?

4) Is it single or dual mounted intercoolers on it?

5)Last but not least David, do you know a price yet, and is there a warranty?

Sorry to bombard you with questions, but I was typing them as fast as I could think of them. Thanks

My guess is that it is not just similar.

I will have pricing tomorow.

Bottom feeders with gravity return on the oil.

I can sell you the kit and you can install it your self.

I will ask about warrenty.

No fuel system with the intial kits.

T3/T4 are good for around 500-550 hp each. The waste gates are Tial, manual control. You can add an after market boost controller.

I had the pleaser of looking at the prototype exhaust manifolds. They look great.

Do you know if that's BHP or RWHP? If I ordered a do it yourself, does it come with tuning, or would it just be a tuner kit? This sounds cool!

FWIW, tuning and fuel systems will be VERY IMPORTANT when installing a system like this... be sure to look into EVERYTHING that is involved when adding FI to your car. Otherwise you will be either blowing up your engine, continually adding thousands of dollars in parts, tuning and paying for high otcane fuel just because no one can get the tune right. (I am talking from personal experience here)

Best of luck to you with your mod choices!! :blueangel:

VR :cheers:
