I haven't found one single turbo kit that doesn't look cheap and crappy. Plenty of twin turbo kits out there but do any of u know of a good kit for a 99 cobra going single turbo. I want a fab look not a hellion small piping with rubber boots everywhere joining it all together :fm:

I've only used their hotside and put together my own coldside, if you want something one piece and as little rubber joints possible you'll need to fab your own.

You are going to have rubber couplers with any kit you buy. Even twins. If you want it all welded up and all Vbands on the cold side. You will have to go custom and you will be paying some good $$$$$ to do it right. The CG fab is your best bet IMO.

Wiggins clamps are a nice touch, and if this guy wants to drop the extra $90-100 on each set it's a nice setup......or just get a bunch of silicone couplers like everyone else because they're functional and can be aesthetically pleasing.

I agree that you will need to go custom. My custom single kit only has 6 rubber couplers, that's from turbo outlet to the TB. Heck 2 are because of the MAF. I asked the shop about a single piece of pipe from the intercooler to the TB but they said it wouldn't allow them to clock the MAF to get the best reading to tune the car properly.

A lot of people will probably disagree but I love how my on3 kit looks. Only coupler you can see in the engine bay is the TB one. There is 4 total from turbo outlet to TB.

Actually, On3's cold side isnt all that bad. I used it on my custom hotside build I did. No complaints other than the poopy intercooler.

^ That's the first time I have ever read anything good about the on3 kit.

No real complaints with mine. It wasn't perfect, but I pretty much just used the piping. The WGs, BOV, turbo, boost controller etc are all tail and turbonetics. I havent had any real problems. it wasn't perfect, but I made it work and for $2k I wasn't complaining. Especially when there seems to be a lot of $6k plus kits out there that people still have fitment issues with.
