Which ones did you use? From where? All that came with mine were 6 2.5" clamps and I need 2 3" clamps with the wide apex

kits ok, I would watch the for sale section on this site for like a truck manifold style kit. I think I saw one for 350 yesterday. The power it gives you, is the power you put into it. If you put a **** turbo on it with a **** tune you will get **** results. People are running single digits with this kit, i believe.

Extended wires for my wideband tonight(only needed about 2 feet more), also ran the hose for my boost gauge. Just bought a catch can and am currently bidding on dual stage boost controller. Cleaned the deck of my block, still waiting for my 317s....

Hey guys, I have one of the best EBC money can buy, especially for my asking price. I have an HKS EVC 5. It cost me $700+ when I bought it; I used it for less than 500 miles before my VR4 nuked

I am asking $400 for it, let me know if you guys need it. I am also open to trades, but a lot on the list I have already got, lol.

Be careful with that BC Bro! I had one and gave it away because of way too many boot spikes and surging. The only thing I ever liked from TurboXS was the my RFL blow off valve

I have tried the Greddy Profec E01, AEM and Apexi, but in the end the the EVC 5 was the best. HKS or Blitz are the only EBC I will ever use. And as far as MBC, I hate'em!
