All the reviews I have read online say "junk/oil leaks/ poor fitment". But the previous responses make me question. Keep us posted

IMO it all comes down to people that had bad experience will post about it 99% of the time yet people with good experience dont necessarily say anything about it.

For as many as they sell it seems to be a good choice for a budget build.

I have even had problems with top of the line Garrett ball bearing turbos so its just luck of the draw in some cases..

I was looking at their 88mm, and possibly their 76 for twins depending on which way I go. Looking over their ad on the 76 and it says no warranty. If you install it and it pours oil out, I guess your stuck with it? I can see not giving a long term warranty, but that sucks.

I did a lot of reading before buying my kit, went with Huron and last I checked it cost me 1,000 bucks more for Huron's kit while running a cheap turbo. You'll hear a lot of negatives about On3's fitment and lack of delivery of missing parts ect, and its probably true that many who use On3 and have no problems don't post but I haven't come across and negative reviews for Huron. Call On3 and ask some detailed questions and you'll find out quick what they know or don't about their products. Look for a used Huron kit, they are out there. Also resale on Huron will be much easier and better if that happens

I'm not sure on what the drive pressure was. It ran out of steam at 5600 though.

Not an F-body, but I've been running a pair of their 70's for a little under a year now. No problems at all so far.
