I voted NO. Power was great, quality wasn't. Turbo also hung down too low for me, but looking back I'm thinking I may have received a bum kit.

I have had mine for over a year, then it happened. #7 and #2 checked for low compression. I was due. Enjoy the hell out of the kit. This gave me an excuse to get another engine. I now have a fully forged 383 built by Golen engine and with upgraded T-67. The car was finished last month and I put some miles on the car before the tune. During the first days of tunning, the KAT blew. The KAT was gutted and now waiting to get a new LT1 edit to move forward. Current number at 6lb were 447hp with 495tq but the car was limited to 5000 rmp due to the MAF. Once this gets worked out, I will be a happy camper.

My car is lowered (adjustable coil-overs), and from what I hear even with a front mount turbo you can't have the car slammed to the ground. I worked with the creative folks at Synergy Motorsports to get the setup to where I'm not saying my prayers going out the driveway or over speed bumps. There are definitely things you can do to resolve the clearance issues. One of the great things I like about the rear mount setup is that it's easy to modify or even change to a completely different setup. I started with the stock boost setting and liked it so much that I upgraded it. So now I have an adjustable boost controller and a FMIC.
