[QUOTE="SVT GI, post: 15754663, member: 81611"] $6K is way too much IMO. I've had two HP kits, first one I bought used in 2012 with Garrett GT3582R's, ported intake to oil pan, for $3800. Still running strong for the new owner. 2 months ago I just sold all the hot pipes from the second HP kit for $500. HP kits work well and as stated will get you in the 1000-1100 range pretty easy. The pipes on HP kits are mild steel, usually jet hot coated, but eventually start to rust. last week I made 957rwhp and 879 tq thru an auto with an On3 twin kit that I modified. On 24.5lbs, still more to go. Using On3 61mm turbos, swapped out the T3 flanges for v-bands, 1.06 AR hot sides, Treadstone intercooler, fabbed my own 3.5 cold side, Tial 44mm wastegates, Procharger race BOV. Built motor, 9:1 compression, ported c heads, baby turbo cams, ported Mach 1 lower with an adapted B intake lid (it's a 97 Cobra). On3's quality has come around over the past few years, there is just some parts that I would upgrade if going with them. The pipes are stainless steel and good quality. I've heard people previously having the welds crack on them but nothing recently. For good measure I added welds inside the v band flanges on the 4 main connections just to be safe but don't think it was required. Either of those kits still require a scavenge pump, they're easy to mount, wire and plumb but the wondering if it goes out factor is on your mind every now and then. I've never ran a single kit so I have no feedback on those but either way, most kits will require some tweaking or finishing up of some kind. [/QUOTE]
