FWIW the old "RR" kit is available (the stainless parts anyway) from Stainless Works. BUT this is nice having the option to go with a tang housing and v-band DP vs. the OC/4-bolt housing used on the SW kit.

Actually, this kit doesn't look to bad for what my goals are turing out to be with my T/A. Should make a nice street setup without destroying the pipes on a lowered car. Nice job guys, ignore the haters.

I don't think its a bad design for a moderate street kit. But you guys had better be using some much thicker coated mild steel...especially with the primaries pointing the way they do. Otherwise its the same story of cracked manifolds.
Where is the wastegate and have you tested it on a running car? People have had issues with boost control.

Its not the same as the TTi kit or RR's kit.
The crossover and log are all once peice.
I dont see a WG at all, and they are using a Tang housing
it is a further refinement of an existing product.
I really feel sorry for TTi, their kit has been copied to death now.

I would really like to see some pics of how the wastegate is mounted. It looks as though some accesories will have to be relocated as well. Can we get some info on your plans for that?

Looking good! 
Could be a future addon once I make my motor a forged 383.

It would have been so easy to use an on-center housing but we decided to put i more hours if we could get better flow and now able to use a V-band connection for the downpipe. All the hot parts are in 304 stainless until it exits the downpipe. From there the heat isn't quite as wild so we used mild steel . And again like our other kits, the exhaust goes all the way back to the catback as you can see.
The turbo kit we are offering is complete with everything you need for the install. It'll even come with new PS line, alt. relocation bracket, idler pulley bracket, all clamps/ hoses, ect. It will be a 100% complete kit.
The cooling fans stay in its stock position as well as AC. The only thing that needs to be relocated is the alt. which we'll supply with a bracket.
Anyways, here are some pics
And here are some prices
Turbo kit- $4000
Turbo kit w/ FMIC- $4425
T76GTS upgrade- $325
Again, these kits come complete with every single piece you need.
Also, we are in the process of installing this on our company Camaro so we should see dyno numbers some time next week.
We are currently taking orders so if you guys have any questions, don't hesitate to call.

Id honestly look to another kit, the DESIGN of this kit is inherently flawded.
if the LOG is the right size can work, but isnt the best design. They would be better served comming out with their initial kit with the headers and Y pipe, work it all or most all of it above the K member

How big is the X over and the log primaries??
BUT this is nice having the option to go with a tang housing and v-band DP vs. the OC/4-bolt housing used on the SW kit
Thats all you guys do is bash just about every kit out there. O well guess you can't make everyone happy?
All we know is we have a very nice turbo kit that's on the market for a car not many companies want to make. It's built with the highest standards, highest quality, and priced lower than any other kit on the market.
I am not saying everyone, just alot of people do it. They want a perfect kit but they want it cheap. Thats not going to happen. You want perfect get the PTK kit or the TTi race kit, yeah you will pay more but you get what you paid for.
