That thing is pretty sick, I've seen the videos before. My car has been put on hold for a minute, I've been busy helping my brother finish his Terminator conversion and I'm in the process of ordering a turbo for my car and am shooting for 800RW on low boost. Can't wait though, it should be a fun street car.

Right on, I thought you might like that. i think that vid is somewhere in the middle east. And as for your car, I think its gonna rip with a turbo. FS motors are no joke.

I was told to got through them on the Corral, but I think I'll order a 88mm kit through B&G. I called them yesterday and never got a call back I guess I'll try again tomorrow. I wanted to buy the whole kit, any other good places that you know of to order a kit from?

B&G is good stuff, I have had two of their kits, they take forever also to make, they like will probably recommend a pt8847 but the intercooler is too small on that kit, you could order their Hotside and make the rest of the kit or try CG Fabrication in San Antonio for just the headers and make everything else yourself, that's probably what I am doing if I can't find a good deal on a Hotside

Have you guy's looked at the PonyDownPerfotmance kits ? They have a stage 3 system (1&3/4 primaries) that is very similar to HP Performance turbo kit but for 2 thirds the price.


And also for 9.2 deck height.

I was looking into them but a guy on the Corral had ordered manifolds from them and hadn't received them in 3 months. He kept calling and never go ahold of anyone, makes me a little leery. I don't want to give them 6k or so and not hear anything from them.

They are a fairly new company on the scene and do not have the man power/manfacturing abilities to pump the kits out pronto. The kits are assembled per order, I believe. So that might be why the delay, before I decide to go procharger I was looking ar piecing together one of their kits.

Ponydown has been very very very slow to ship their stuff also, I still like the quality better from B&G over Ponydown, I am actually installing a Ponydown kit for someone and there was a few things I dont like with the Ponydown kit, I have been hearing that CG Fabrication has been shipping out there headers out very quickly, like in 2 weeks

Which PDP kit are you installing ? Stage 1, 2 or 3.
The one in the pic is the stage 3 kit, the stage one and two I believe have different hot parts that make the turbo face forward instead of sideways like the stage 3. I personally like the stage 3 better.

I really don't know what stage, it has a Masterpower T-70 and it's forward facing, it came with some cheap hose clamps for the cold side which I am upgrading and don't like the way the downpipe is put together.

Yea, im not too sure on their cold parts are in-house or not. And the stage 1 and 2 kits I was not too impressed with, however the stage 3 kit is a completely different design, also hot parts in the stage 3 come ceramic coated.

Those are nice and quality welds, but I like manifolds with longer primaries.

On my first B&G kit I had the wastegate was on the passenger header and on the B&G kit I have right now the wastegate is on my crossover. Also the length of my primaries seem to be close to the same as the CG stuff.
