I'm pretty impressed they make peakboost manifolds now. lol

Someone needs to test out their IC though...it could be a gem.

that stuff scares me...

but what really scares me is that fact that they felt that making a complete turbo kit would be a "Good" idea....

You know those welds look pretty sturdy, and I've heard good things about their intercoolers.

I think SSautoshit is slowly turning around......OBX did...their recent stuff isnt bad at all

Since when did they start making cam gears and pulley's? That must be a new thing. They do try hard and make it look real good. Hell when I was looking for a turbo kit I seen it and went nuts till I searched it and changed my mind. I can't wait to here the new stories on that manifold!!!

i'd worry about the turbo and the manifold. the collector on the manifold looks like their infamous tin can collector on their older manifolds

Just as with their EL manifolds, I'm sure it would work fine if properly braced. Just as a rule of thumb you should not use a SSAC manifold as a structural member.

Which makes me wonder.... If they are selling a complete kit to include t-bolt clamps, why don't they go ahead and make a bracket?

On the web page it says that the kit uses a brand new Garret turbo. If they use a Garret turbo, then why do they only last a couple weeks? Is it just a replica that they tag as a Garret? I've seen some close up of their turbos and the look like cheap junk and now they say this is a Garret, maybe ther meant to say Garret Type turbo, IDK

Jeff, can you elaborate on the intercooler quality? Is it just low fin density or general construction?
