Ha.

It's crap. I haven't used it myself, though I've hooked a few up...and I usually get the same pple inquiring as to why their turbos are seized, or why the mani cracked, or why they're not putting out as much whp as somebody else with the same setup/size turbo but a real car (aka. cheap **** IC).

Doesn't it seem just a little TOO cheap though, seems like a lot of product for a very small amount of money, another words wouldn't it be a good deal for someone who is just looking for a little more horsepower, nothing to extreme?

This is for sale by a seller with a high rating it seems like it is a legitamate auction.

Well they are saying 25 to 30 psi which will not happen if you whant to get it get it but if i were you id build my own or use that and not go over like 15 which imo would still be pushing itbut it is a pretty good price for shitty material but you could always refab later on

Not a bad idea to use @ low boost and if he decides he wants more hp later to refab later
