it looks like none of the pipes have a "rib" around the end to help the hose clamp hold, a little boost and the pipes pull apart

Im gunna bring this back from the dead and ask how these "phab" kits are working out. I have one and have everything to get it on but the turbo, wastegate, and BOV. Just want some feedback from those or anyone who is using one. Good and bad. Thanks.

Most people have had lots of problems with them. Ask XtremeDime about his experiences. Lots of modifications required and the pipes crack easily.

Meh it isnt too bad for the money. Id pick up solid engine mounts, some heat shields for the sparkplugs and prepare to use a different downpipe. I thought about turning the turbo the opposite way of how it was intended, and running the downpipe between the passenger side motor mount and block. Kind of a cluster **** of piping though.

I would just pick up one of Modular Turbo's new truck manifold kits.
