Their manifolds crack and their turbos don't last. I have seen picks where one turbo literally fell apart.

So ur gonna spend $600+ on some tubing and an oil feed line. You're not going to be able to run much boost on a stock setup. The pistons, injectors, and ecu will not be able to handle much boost at all. I would recomend doing more research before you buy something.

I installed it in my vehicle. I'm still trying to dial it in. Ive been unable to get the gains that were expected yet. I have everything installed,including a hiflow fuel pump. I don't know what is holding it back though.
