Default ON3 or Huron Speed single turbo kit?

Looking to potentially do a single turbo A/C kit in the future. I really like the price of the ON3 kit and the cast manifolds. I would probably not run the 70mm turbo...so basically I'm just comparing hot/cold piping from ON3 and Huron Speed. How's the quality of the ON3 system?

Gotcha. I'm all for saving money...but it's not saving if you have to buy something twice...

Agree with the above, but the price difference is quite a bit. OP, check out a thread that's probably 3 to 4 pages back about guy who used the On3 kit. He seems to like it and said the kit was good quality.

That's what I thought, when I did my research is never check prices. I was just wanting the best kit. Now my deposit is in Huron speeds account for there new kit. I've had a lot of questions for jon at Huron. I've emailed him quite a few times and always have a response within the hour. Even in the evening! Which I think is impressive.

We would love to get you into one of our kits! We have been in the game for many years now and on the forum supporting members for years as well. With this we have figured out what these cars need in terms of turbo kits and feel our line-up of (4) different F-body turbo kits has the game covered! Our A/C kit has many new features that will separate it from anything else on the market that we have figured out from our years of experience and also from listening to you the customers in terms of what you wanted to see out of a kit!

Some notes:

*Our A/C kit comes included with extra thick .120 wall stainless manifolds.
*Designed to keep the factory alternator down low in the factory brackets. This keeps the ugly alternator out of site and prevents belt issues that many have when relocating the alternator. We fought this in the past, addressed it and corrected it
*Our crossover design pulls exhaust gasses from both banks individually into a larger 44-46mm wastegate flange to prevent boost creep and have no issues controlling boost pressures even with larger flowing turbochargers!
*Our kit was designed to allow the fitment of nearly all T4 turbos and even Mid-frames T4s such as the PT88 and T4 S400's without having to touch, modify, or move the factory radiator.
*Our kits include a 3" through K-member exhaust for standard T4s or we have the optional 2-piece 4" bumper exit exhaust so customers wanting to run bigger T4's such as the PT88 or S400 have the optional without having to fabricate on their end in regards to the exhaust and the radiator fitment!
*Our kits retain the OEM front sway bar in OEM position.
*We include all stainless steel hardware to bolt up all components
*We are direct with all of the major turbo companies on the highest levels to offer all customers a vast Variety of the highest quality components available. If you know turbocharging, you know that it is impossible for 1 turbo to fit all applications. This is why we allow our customers to add in their components from the highest quality and best component manufacturers available at the very best prices based on their engine specs, their horsepower goals, the use of their vehicle, and their budget!
*Our kits all come with our industry leading customer service. You will not find better service anywhere else and can expect to hear back from us by e-mail or on the forum 7 days a week, morning, noon and night as well as even on holidays.


Jon

If you want a top notch turbo kit, with costumer service to match go with Huron speed, and don't look back. I love mine and it was one of the first kits they sold. I haven't had a single problem with it.

Huron speed all the way. I have worked with Jon since the very first c5 longtube header and axleback kit was produced (still on my daily driver to this day). The customer service is top notch and the product is great. Personally I prefer to support people and companies that support the community, which is why I still work closely with HSP to this day.

Question

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but aren't the Huron speed kits made by xsracing, a Chinese header company?

I thought they were made in house by the Huron Speed crew.

I had the Huron v1 kit on my last car and loved it. I'll be buying an on3 after the 1st of the year simply for the cost savings and the fact that it's a truck manifold kit.
