I noticed in the pics of the Phamspeed kit, the turbo has an anti-surge housing on it. Is this the same turbo that ships with the kit? Wouldn't seem necissary for a T70-T76 given the size of these engines. I bring this up because some people have found (on other cars) that anti-surge housings cost them quite a bit of power.

I bought a PTK kit and have it sitting in my garage. I've seen a lot of PTK's kit from a T-66 on street kit for a mustang to a T-94 a low 8sec mustang. I also just helped a buddy install the new PTK 4V cobra kit, all of which were of excellent quality.
The PTK ls-1 kit cannot be compaired to the TTi street kit. I've owned 3 and I'm sorry but the tti street kit does not hold a candle to this kit.
Dalton and Jose are both very helpfull and I would not hesitate to buy anything I needed from them.
I'll try and get a few pics to show y'all that there a few kits have already been shipped out.
I also think Phamspeed is a very good kit. I am all for keeping as many GOOD turbo kit companies as we can get.
Later,
Dave

BTW, our FMIC upgrade for the $3550 kit is only $150

I am probably missing something here, but what would it take to make your regular kit w/ the fmic upgrade a real complete kit so that all I would have to do is bolt it up? IC piping? BOV? Downpipe upgrade? Thanks!

Not necessarily hard for John to make, but very time consuming and the price jumps up a lot. When he was selling a complete kit it was around $4500. Its cheaper to have the pipes made elsewhere.

Phamspeed tried to sell a complete kit with fmic but no one wanted it. That's when he dropped the fmic and just came up with the hotside for a low price.

lol, I'll probably end up taping pictures of all three kits to a dart board, putting on a blind fold, and "throwing" my decision at my garage wall.
