so about this k-member of yours...is it strong? strong like the UMI k-member? strong enough for street and road race use?

...

can you jack on it? that's one of the reasons i stayed away from APS, i dont want to have to buy a lift to change a tire.

Don't worry the K member will be just as strong as anything out there right now, we are not going to make an inferior product.

The K member is not an after thought when it comes to this kit, we have put just as much time and effort into making the K member as we have the kit itself.

Also the K member will be available at some point by itself for the DIY crowd. It will be one of the most room affording K members out there.

would you rather have a guy that has terrible customer service and have a kit up already, or have a guy that has great customer service, and a good kit?

I can tell you personally, I have spent HOURS on the phone with Rob over the last couple months, and his kit will change everything.

Will scavenge pumps be needed?? I would assume so since the turbos will be in similar placement as APS kits.

The turbos are mounted above the oil pan, so our gravity drain system is going to work perfectly.

The reason we do not recommend jacking on them is not a strength issue.

Our main concern is it's easy to have the jack slip and cause damage to the car or user, so if you are careful you will be fine
