yeah their headers are tried and true with some modification and a little more welding...but you can expect about 2 pulls on one of their turbos...if your lucky

You typically get what you pay for when it comes to FI systems. Making good power isn't cheap, and if it is cheap it probably isn't reliable.

Fast
Cheap
Reliable

pick two.

if your looking for a fairly reliable entry level turbo that you dont want to spend a serious amount on look at the master power seiries. they have come along way in a short time. i know guys been running them for 3 or 4 years and havent had any problems out of them.
