Oh don't cry, wipe that tear from your eye. 
There is work being done, the jigs for producing the piping are made.
There are minor changes that are being done to enhance the appearance of the kit when installed in the engine bay.
This is a great kit.
I am seriously reconsidering my forced induction choice of supercharging.

Just an update. No details will be given until all is proven and hard number are aquired with written evidence(ie Dyno sheets :D). The kit has been upgraded, a new more efficient manifold has been made using our jig and the intake to the turbo has been changed to accomodate all the factory hoses etc. Its going solid and soon we will post more information. Thanks.

^says the guy with almost every ricer mod known to man....
Looks good, do you plan on shielding the turbine housing? On mine the heat got pretty intense and I ended up going through one of those stealth turbo blankets, (POS) and ended up getting a different one from Gotham Racing. Trying to tame the heat seems one of the biggest issues with these motors.

Thanks for the tips, I'll make sure and pay attention to the blankets and change them if necessary

The hood isnt even close to the turbo and the wastegate's hot part is at its bottom way down inside the engine bay do that isnt even close to the hodd either(it even clears the engine cover by like 1.5" from the "cold" purple head), I think you should see things in person before passing judgement...

^Relax or leave....no point in getting your panties in a twist. There's a difference in talking about what your going to do and actually doing it. Hey, if you can sqeeze out more horsepower than me, props to you. Do everyone a favor and take it PM so the thread stays on topic.
