How does the quality compare to say Hellion. If I wanted a solid 700+ hp turbo, could I just upgrade the turbo and supporting mods and will that kit hold up to it?

I would never run a Hellion kit.

I would make my own kit, before I would spend that kind of money on a turbo kit.

My honest opinion, which does not mean much at this point (due to not having this kit on long enough) is;

Nothing on this kit can be improved upon, except the turbo, WG, BOV. The 16 GA. Stainless is awesome, and everything fits perfect.

From this experience....I truly do not understand how any one has issues with these kits. I honestly just think it is installer error/lack of skills. 100%.

car looks good and sounds good man. I was going to build a turbo kit using a hotside from someone in TX and build my own cold side. Enjoy it :)

I'd have to agree...Having bought a Hellion kit before, and knowing what I know now and how simple a turbo setup can be I probably wouldn't spend that kind of money again. Only thing I can say is that with the Hellion kit you get a bigger intercooler, better wg and bpv, and turbo. If you upgrade that stuff on the On3 kit you'll be close in price, but with forward facing headers and a kit already setup for blow through maf.

When we installed the on3 kit, I was very impressed. Having never installed a turbo on anything before, we had very minor issues. Most of which was a result of Ford changing minor things on the car, ie exhaust manifold stud lengths.

I would not hesitate to do another on3 kit. Even the dyno shop was impressed.

Eh, seriously doubt it. When a guy like Bob Kurgan can't get a kit to seal right, doubt it's installer error. They are plagued with spooling problems like you have amongst other things. There are way too many people with problems to blame them all on installer error.

Eh, we can agree to disagree.

Thanks.

The negativity is amazing on forums. Do people have nothing better to do?

I would probably hate on a 10 second,T45, On3 budget show car too.

Auto trans is coming..... I cant wait to see this thing go low 10's-high 9's......with such cheap and stock parts.
