Really? Does it come with stainless flex sections to insure fit? A wet section for bearing longevity? Different wheel, and housing options? .125" thick mandrel bent stainless wall tubing with tapered runners for impoved exhaust velocity? .625" manifold base flange? Are they made in house to insure good customer support? If not, will you warranty these manifolds and DP's for as long as the customer owns them? Can it retain the airpump for those who want to? Is it offered in short or long runner style manifolds or just the one shown?

Value maybe, but price isn't the only factor in the word.

Can I play too??

It's hard to beat the quality of A-Spec's products. And when you factor in the warranty that they offer to all of their customers, you CAN'T beat them. Period, point blank.

Actually for the $1999 I can do either the 4088 or the 62-1. So yes it comes with different wheel and housing options. I will also offer our custom manifold which has a lifetime warranty along with the downpipe. I also have a short runner manifold for people wanting to keep the airpump. So its value packed at a great price. Not only that it's in stock so there isnt a month wait.

If a forum member mentions this ad when ordering they will get.
Free K&N intake for the turbo, a $45 value and since they will need a fuel system, I will offer our extreme system for $550 which is a $75 savings.


Either way if you go with A-spec Im sure you will be happy.

Jason, you think you can do the same savings for the Ultimate Fuel System?

Buying anything that says HKS on it is surely going to cost you more.... My advice is to spend a good while looking around and talking to people from here (or in person if you can) to see what you will get.

On my car, I bought the XS-Engineering T04S kit via the rx7store.net group buy that happened a while back, and I'm 110% satsified with it.

GT40 and 40R parts are hard to come by so be warned, the turbo's are easy parts are not. The reason for the wait is A) the amount of kits I have on order, always. And B) I can't account for parts backlogged by the manufacturer so rather than mislead and say sure you'll have it right away. I let them know they are "X" inline and that is it. Example Tial has a current backlog of 44mm gates till mid february. I have enough here to meet current demand. Hopefully they don't take longer than they are supposed to. Garrett has been short numerous times as you are well aware. And I don't know about you but I go through supply pretty quick. Some people change their order half way through and this can really screw things up. Either way for me the 4 weeks works at keeping customers happy as if I run out of inventory and Garrett or tial or waiting for the foundries, I don't have customers screaming "wheres my stuff!! You promised!!" usually.

Ahhh, the beauty of competition. I heard Sean has BBQ's every weekend, and gives out ballons to the little ones. Top that.
