NA is just not enough for my heavy db8...at least not anymore.
I was looking at the drag kit and it seems decent...good price too.
my question is, if i would later decide to raise up the boost and try to go for about 350~400whp, would it be good enough to hold?
there were some people who complained that the mani can crack after some time.
i'm pretty sure they're good. not to bash on them...i just am not sure if i want to drop $4000+ of my hard earned $$$ for something like the
full-race kit.
drag kit good enough for 400whp??

You should be able to make 400hp at around 18 to 20 psi on a drag kit. My kit at 12 psi was 320hp on gsr engine never pushed it past that.

In my opinion buy a cutom one is because I haven't seen a drag kit running 400whp in here and its cast iron it will probably crack if u buy it piece by piece u probably would save money check the classified forum u might find one for sale better and cheap
And also if u decide to buy the drag kit don't use the inlinepump and fmu get ur ecu chipped (uberdata or crome) cheap and realiably
Good lock

Mine hasn't cracked and I put 50 miles on my car a day with 400whp. I would get rid of the FMU and get a 255 intank and a set of 720cc injectors. Also upgrade the intercooler.

how long have you had your kit installed and running? very impressive. would appreciate more info from someone with first hand experience.
