This is the kit I've been waiting for. Not just because it's HKS either, but because it has a nearly identical layout to the AAM kit, which as all these TT kits goes is the most efficient/shortest piped. I think that separating the bottom to top flow intercoolers (ala R35 if I'm not mistaken) is also great from not only a functional standpoint, but also from an aesthetic standpoint. The AAM intercooler looks a little funky around the top intercooler caps in the middle. No offense to AAM; they make great products, I just like this one a little more and HKS may actually sell one to me.

I would be interested to know a little more about these turbos. Are these the disco potatoes (or descendants from)? I think of our cars as not a 3.7L engine but two banks of 1.35L engines, and almost all the turbos on offer you wouldn't dream of putting on a 1.3L three cylinder engine and expect it to have the kind of street characteristics I'm looking for.
