this kit looks neat, I just wouldn’t mind them improving position of the WG I mean why dump exhaust gasses right below the gas tank not to mention a hot turbo sitting next to it as well…I guess you could claim that when driving the gasses go down and out away from that stuff, but why risk with your life??? ---

reasons the system sucks: 1. lag is horrible because of excess piping 2. presure drop because of excess piping 3. even more piping is needed if you want a FMIC 4. horrible placement for a low car 5. wastegate placment 6. their “patented” oiling system that holds true to any car it is on. it is not a system for a daily driver ---
