My friend, if you had read my first post you would noticed that this is something I am buying overseas (not here in the USA).

It takes advantage of dollar exchage, which it is approx 3-to-1. I mean, you have heard about Free Trading, right ?? Killing jobs all over factories in the USA ?? So that is it, if the gov is pushing the free trade (and I guess they don't care about workers at home) why would I care ?? I'll shop for the cheapest.


The kit is selling for approx R$1,400 which is approx $500. And the turbos are KKK or Garret...


I could not call them and ask about the contents of the kit and about the manifolds. I am still contacting them thru emails but that takes time. I wanted to call them this weekend but I didn't have time.

The biggest problems I see are: installation & engine management.


by the way:

has anyone heard of CMRacing or UniCHIP ???

The first is a "box" that controls ignition timing and the extra fuel injector (if added). the second is a south african chip that is made for turbo cars.
