As I said to you after I posted it... It's not the build quality so much as the layout...

True equal length primary headers tend to be a rare item . . . and take up a hell of a lot of under-the-hood space.

Eg :



With two Turbos, tubes and intercooler in there I don't think I'd have the room.

We didnt have equal length manifolds on the lola beatrice and that was a car that had millions in development when it was raced back in the mid 80's

That turbo kit went for under £580 in the end . . .

Exhaust and the MOT

No reg as to where the exhaust can and cant exit

[Roadkill]

a silencer in such condition, or of such a type, that the noise emitted from the vehicle is clearly unreasonably above the level expected from a similar vehicle with a silencer in average condition.

Turbo kit is back on US eBay . . .

[Roadkill]

Oh, and the S/S flexi's arrived earlier this week.

Not in time for the weekend gone but still quick.

There may be an addition to the fleet . . . . . .

[55starchief]

***edit***

Seems this kit is crap after a little googling, people saying the turbos have failed in a short time

not with turbos mate, they dont load the motor like superchargers or NOS

[F Body]

But the added power has to go through the engine / drive train

its not as heavy though, i know guys running in the us pushing 800hp on stock motors

[Roadkill]

Seems that the $1300 isn't THAT impressive . . . which kinda makes me more comfortable about buying it . . .

[55starchief]

That other cheap kit has internal wastegates on the turbos, the more expensive kit has external waste gates so if you wanted to update the turbos to a branded unit like a turbonetics which run $800ish each you could without needing to do a lort more work

[Roadkill]

Yep, definately the first kit is on the cards . .
