So called......... Far from it!

We have sold and delivered 10 of them already. Its been available for about 3 weeks now.

Also we are working on a version that retains the A/C.

The way so many people cheap out on their "american" cars, they might as well say "made in china" on the rear bumper instead of pontiac or camaro...
Sorry for the rant, at least this company offers upgrades to real turbos like precision and master power if you go with one of their kits. Hopefully more people will go that route once they get a specific kit made for our cars.

Because most here are getting .81 ar housings which won't support the power of a turbo V8)

I run a single turbo precision 60mm .68 ar and I have no problem of (lack of turbo) mine made 486hp/490tq pump gas (93) low timing no intercooler 12psi. I think a .81ar is plenty esp for a street ride.

My friend has an on3 kit on his 05 Mustang gt and with nothing more then the turbo and a cat back he has run 11.60@121 on the stock tires tuning it himself and everything has held up fine so far.However if I were looking for a turbo kit for an Fbody I would look right here.

a 60mm turbo with a .68AR? I bet your back pressure is off the charts.

Don't know what the back pressure is, just know it runs like a champ. Has been 6.60@109mph 1/8th spinning a 1.50 60ft. It sure does seem to like the combo.

Oh I'm sure it would with a bigger turbo, but for a street car its plenty, its also a turbo I had off another project. So its done its job, but doesn't mean the .81 turbo is too small. Its all in the application/use. For a street car u don't won't a huge 101mm turbo. Its useless on the street.

according to his thread the only o3 part is the turbo. and ive never heard anyone say they didnt have good results with the on3 turbo. my buddie steve used their 67mm and made 550whp. it was just too small so he went with a 76mm. so far hes went 10.29 at 133 with the stock bottom end and 317 heads unported, stock intake tb, and stock 10 bolt rear with a th400 i build for him.

I've been curious about these turbos as well since i started my new build. From the things I've heard they don't perform too bad but Im a little skeptical. I believe in getting what you pay for.

For me its always about "after sale service"

Can you easily contact me, is there a warranty, are we flexible with the warranty?

Customer Service is key.

No matter how cheap or expensive something is or where it's made it doesn't matter. If you don't support your customers you will have problems. If you do the problems will be overcame.

If On3 has great customer service and warranties there turbos who cares how cheap they are and where they are made as long as they perform and live up to what they are promised to do.

If not then I say stay away. That's it in a nut shell.
