Default opinions on treadstone performance kits

I'm in the process of researching how to boost my f22b2, and one of the issues I've noticed is that almost no one offers a turbo manifold for this engine so most ppl get one custom made.

Then I ran into this: http://www.treadstoneperformance.com...+F22B+and+F23A

Is this kit reputable? It seems like a decent price for all that you get, but I'm worried the manifold might be shi**y. Also, do you guys think that's a knockoff turbo or is it the real deal? This kit seems almost too good to be true... Do y'all think I'd be better off just piecing one together myself?

If this kit is legit, would a walbro 255 fuel pump and dsm 450cc injectors be sufficient for a goal of 250-300 whp?

Any advice would be very helpful, I'm still deep into the planning phase and I want to do this right the first time around.

Wastegate placement on the manifold sucks and personally i'm not a raging Turbonetics fan, but overall it looks good. Its hard to mess up a cast manifold, intercooler piping, or oil lines. That kit is far from complete, but you know that already. Also, the downpipe looks small, but that's minor.

Its not bad, although i think you could build yourself a setup for less money.

Thanks. I think I'm gonna just piece something together myself. As far as the walbro 255 and dsm 450cc injectors... Is that sufficient for my top goal of 300whp?

With that fuel setup and an eBay manifold/piping, what turbo would you suggest for my goal(both tIrvine/compressor size and brand)?

450's will work, but you'll have to crank them up to 60 PSI. You'd be better served with some ID725's. The Walbro 255 is definitely enough pump (it can handle up to 700 @ stock pressure), but you should also consider a CNT Racing 300. Cheaper, and better power handling.

The only option for an f series turbo manifold are the eBay cast units with less than ideal wastegate placement or a custom tubular one. I have an f22 and I'm in the same boat but I'm ditching it for an f20b.

The other issue is if you have a dogbone front engine mount it will be in the way and must be removed, not a good thing if you're on stock mounts so in order to remove it and not tear a stock mount you'll need to get a set of mounts from innovative or someone (i prefer innovative)

It also depends if your f has even or odd spaced exhaust ports. if it has the odd spaced exhaust ports then the cast manifold is your only option.

That kit is solid. No knock off parts just a basic kit.
