I bought the ebay knock off PTK, Used a garrett GT76mm .96 A/R and currently have ran a best of 6.35 in the 1/8th my time is on the 2012 boosted 1/8 FI that time is equivalent to high 9 second 1/4 mile pass. If you have any questions I have a thread on here with some pics and I discussed how to install it. There are a few issues with the driver side manifold bolt holes nothing a big drill bit wont fix in 30 seconds and you have to relocate the passenger 02 bung what I did was plug it, plugs come with the kit, and weld a new bung on lower, there like two dollars at NAPA. You can also PM me if your stuck. Hopefully this answers your question.

i had to mod mine alot just to get it to fit, so unless you have a tig, and in that case i would just do the truck maniflods. Maybe i was just unlucky but its a POS.

Look up XTremeDime's old build thread. He had this kit and made it work but he had quite the adventure with it.
