That's about 25.5 hp @ the wheels...which is about 31hp @ the flywheel (assuming 18% drivetrain loss).

I think the craftsmanship on this kit is pretty nice. but not moving the radiator is what I really question about. it's bad enough that the air hits the radiator last, having different angles will surely reduce the amount of air passing through the radiator.

this setup looks a lot similar to extreme intercoolers layout. Except it's almost 1/2 the price and their design works w/ stock twins and single turbo upgrade.

they also sell it on ebay

but honestly. i'd just get a greddy for fmic. reasonably cheap, works well, and install friendly.

Looks beautiful...but making the air do a 180 just to get into the intercooler, then another 180 to get back out...that cant be good for flow.

i'm definitely not liking the angles or the well-blocked radiator... i think they had one goal in mind, to make a massive intercooler, but they didn't figure in everything else that needed to be considered.
