Hey Josh, I'm going to pick up one of those turbo blankets(forcedinductions.com one) for my setup. I think you said that you had header wrap on your car at one point in time. Do you recommend using it? Does it cause the headers to erode quicker or anything? Hoping Christmas comes early for me

josh is very tedious and takes his time with each build. The whole idea with the jig setups will be to streamline the build process. Each kit has been superb and he knows the ins and outs of each setup. He spends hours on end talking on the phone and sometimes even neglects his family to go the extra mile. It's hard to sell kits, provide tech support, and fab up kits day in and day out. I can say one thing as i've been close friends with josh for a long time, if you're not happy with something he goes the extra mile to make sure you're happy with the purchase.
I have wanted a kit on my car for years, but it just doesn't ever seem to be the right time. We're all faced with economic stress, but josh has kept the price of his kit nearly identical since he opened with the only addition being the added cost of higher steel. I'm glad to call josh one of my best friends and he's bent over backwards to help me many times. Rest assured that you will be in good hands.
It takes a lot of gumption to stop making sales to get caught up with things. I've been in the ls1 game for years and seen many shops continue to take orders to pay shop bills to keep open for as long as possible and for many people to be left in the cold without products. My hat was off to him for making that choice and as he opens back up to taking orders he will make sure he does not go too far and get backlogged. I know from experience that you get what you pay for.

Can you elaborate on what's needed to be done to the abs block? My car is 100% a street car, and keeping abs and a/c is a requirement for me, which is what is pulling me towards doing either one of your turbo kits or going bigger cubes and staying NA.

. All in all keeping the ABS is just a little time with making a bracket. 
More or Less fabbing up a quick bracket to move it over the Driver side Frame Rail a little more than OEM. I prefer to ditch the ABS and get a SMJ line lock kit. Cleaner and easier to deal with. Line Lock is fun too . All in all keeping the ABS is just a little time with making a bracket.
. All in all keeping the ABS is just a little time with making a bracket. Well, like I said, this is a street car first and foremost and ABS and traction control and A/C are mandatory in my book. If it's as simple as moving it over an inch or so, I don't see it being a big deal. It would be a different story if it required bending new lines and installing it in a totally new area.
Knowing the success we've had with a 1 3/4" headers and 2.5" charge pipes, I wonder how long its going to be until someone requests you make a 1 5/8" header to a 2.25" charge pipe for the T4 setups. Your work looks great!
I have thought about it a few times Phil. More or less wondering how much velocity it would pick up. When Stainless Works and I did the headers we defaulted to 1 3/4" to cover the bases. I went to a 3" collector and charge pipes due to not liking the 1 3/4" to 2.5" collector making such and abrupt transistion. I may try it out and see what the differences are back to back. I need to put my 02 Formula to good use anyway.

I can get the flanges in 1 5/8" no problem. I will look into some collectors and see if I can fins some I like. I will check the transistions at Cone Engineering.
