You will need the new manifolds, turbos, downpipes, a couple intercooler pipes and possibly a different coolant crossover line.

3. What is the upgrade cost for current MHI kit group buy members?
Since the turbine housing is capable of a lot more flow, it will be slightly less responsive. As for comparing to the MHI turbos, the GTX2867R has no equal from the MHI lineup.

One of the manifolds is the same as the MHI, and one is specific for the larger T25+ turbine housing. Neither one will require any drilling or tapping.

As for the group buy upgrade price, we're working on it and should have that posted either today or Tuesday.
