That Blitz kit is specific to the FD3S and does not fit on the FC3S due to the lower intake manifold.

this is more along the lines of a turbo upgrade rather than turbo kit. these were designed with the T2 in mind, not the n/a cars.

from what i hear

That kit is relatively new.

They make their own.&nbsp It's not a "true" kit.

I can put together my own kit using an HKS turbo exhaust manifold and any off-the-shelf Garrett T04.

This is a quote from these people-------> http://www.horsepowerinabox.com/mall/tc13.asp

series 4 STOCK turbo upgrade.

"This unit is fully re-conditioned and high flowed using a V2 trim TO4 compressor wheel and back cut exhaust wheel, standard S4 exhaust and compressor housing, but enlarged waste gate for better boost control.

Capable of 470 horsepower, bolts straight on, gives less lag than the standard unit yet makes loads more power on the same boost."

This is insane for soooo many reasons......

#1: price $1420 ?!?!?!?!?! For less then $1000 you can get a full blown T04, and they want this for a s4 upgrade?!?!?! *go ahead and bend over,, this is the rip off of the century*

#2: 470 horsepower?!?!? NO ******* WAY!!! *lose that hardon, Its not possible, 300 at fly if your lucky.*

#3: Less lag?? umm highly doubtful, maybe close to stock. You lose turbine efficiency when you "clip" a turbine (a 2% in turbine efficiency loss is equivalent to 25% in weight gain) to gain top end flow. And NO the weight offset (material removed) will not make it spool faster. And yes you get faster boost when going up in compressor exducer,, but I doubt this will offset the turbine clip.

Beware when buying stuff is my point, do your research and ask the large number of experienced and knowledgeable people here before you make a pricey purchase.

My $.02 rant....

As RacerXtreme7 mentioned, it's in AUS $'s.

I totally agree.&nbsp I dunno where they get their dyno numbers from, and most Aussie complain the DynoJet runs too high numbers!
