which one? I believe they have a few...one being a T62-1 and the other being a T-66....they both make very good power with very good response.

I've been wondering about this as well. Maybe, people are watching on R85 and GT40R instead.

I was watching this kit for a while when I thought my turbo's were bad.

Basically, the kit is supposed to be very high quality, all stainless steel lines/fitting, no cheap Stuff.

The kit also had 2 stages. Stage 2 had a larger manifold for a slightly slower spool and higher top end horsepower. I believe they have a customer's car that dyno'd at 470 with this kit. They were receiving 10 lbs of boost ~ 3200 RPM. Stage 1 also had a custom manifold, but smaller for quicker spool, slightly less top end. This stage is still under development as temps were getting to hot and they were not comfortable selling it to the general population.

The kit is fairly new and I don't believe a lot of people have had it installed yet.

Ive got the gr63 kit.. thats my engine in the picture .. I have the first kit.. We were having some problems with the first manifold egts got to hot.. So the quicker spooling kinda of faild because a bigger manifold hade to be made. But im extreamly happy with the turbo.. I will try and get you guys some numbers as soon as I can.
