Question On3performace turbo kit ???

Does any one have the on3performace turbo kit that retains ac it looks good for the price but the turbo looks like garbage. Are their any other kits that keep ac for about the same price. I'm not made of money but lookin to but a 5.3 on boost for an affordable price. Any help appreciated

We have a kit as well to loose the a/c and its a little cheaper. To call the turbo garbage is going a little far, I own 6 shop cars all running them. They work, if you didnt want the turbo, we have no problem leaving it out. Any other questions you might have, feel free to let me know

Brother my cheap *** On3 Twin 70's blow my previous precisions out of the water in both performance and looks. I was blown away how well packaged it was for $324 shipped to my door. My precisions cost me $500 just to rebuild when it was still under warranty. **** that! I paid it and it went to **** again. Told several times I was doing something wrong. I bought the ON3's and no problems what so ever in a year. I am easily a 1k hp to the wheels currently and is my daily driver.

Just an FYI there is no such thing as a low budget boost build when you account for the fuel, wastegate (get a good one!), fuel pressure regulator..... ect.

Sure there is. You dont have to buy everything new. I purchased almost all of my stuff used except turbos. Wastegates are JGS, BOV is Tial but I got them for about a 1/3 of the price. I just used, used exhaust pipe for hot and cold side. My injectors were used, the intake, etc...
