hah looks nice, but looks like that manifold would hit the radiator or something, nice of them for trying though.

I guy local to me has just got one of these kits fitted to his del sol

The manifold puts the turbo so close to hitting the rad that it does with the engine rocking a little when reving it

The top water hose is crushed from under the hose by the turbo as its placed too high

It seems the turbo actually blows out of the intake of the turbo

I got one of these kits on my car and it made 742whp. I supported the manifold so it doesnt crack.

I would trust everything except for the turbo, and maybe a manifold. But bottom line is this seller might have some better looking parts than SSAC...etc, but this company is a SSAC follower. Give it a try and let us know.

any turbo can do that, particularly, BB turbos because they spin so fast at idle that they are actually compressing air faster than the motor can take in. So it blows back out of the inlet.

yup i know about ssac the turbo may suck and the mani may crack but like tha bove guy said, if you make 700whp for $800 bux that aint too shabby atall....

to the guy who said he bought the kit... how the spool?

**** ill just have my buddy go over the welds on the manifold and then brace the turbo and im sure the kit will work just fine.

You can't just "go over the welds" and fix a bad weld. If they aren't backpurged and are welded too hot, then the damage is done, no rewelding can fix it. It will crack, and it will get welded, and it will crack again, and again, and again....

I think its time for full-race to have a meeting with their lawer. false advertising, but then again they dont own the term full-race. that sucks! now some ricer is gonna buy it thinking he got full-race kit.
