Most here are going to tell you it's junk. But, they haven't tried it. I have a kit. Been getting everything together. There are a few small extra things you'll need. The quality of the welds are top notch. The piping is very nice and thick. I have most of my kit getting Nitroplated right now. I was holding off on giving any feedback until I actually install it and see how well it works. I spent a little more for the thicker intercooler and larger turbo.

I have played with them before, not a fan. The quality is very very very low. Saw another one this weekend with a cracked pipe. Welds looking pretty doesn't mean they hold up. If you want a reliable daily driver, I would skip it. If you don't mind rewelded, replacing, and in the end spending as much or more than a quality kit, well that is a choice you can make.

That's the first I've heard of this. They should have a large disclaimer on their site if true. Can't believe they wouldn't do anything for you. What did you have to do to make it work? Did you ever use the On3 turbo or go straight to the Borg Warner?

People on here will say they suck low Chinese poo blah blah blah some shops in Houston run them and zero problems it's made here in the US I personally know 2 5th gen with auto trans running this kit and love it. Only thing is they upgraded the turbos instead if their 76mm.

They seem to work out for ls1 guys and mustang guys as well. Price is tempting but I know it's not going to be a bolt on and go kit like the agp

I found more good than bad. That's why I ordered a kit.
