Should be ready to ship next week.
And while I am here, I might as well provide an update on all this. I have been dealing with some unfortunate back issues (lower back), and it has really held me back all this summer. I did finally find an chiropractor that knows what he is doing, and I am starting to fell a lot better....which translates in to me getting on with the building of more turbo kits. I have also been working on outsourcing some of the fabrication for a few months now. Of course, when you are as anal retentive as me, it is difficult to find somebody that will make the pipes to the high spec that I demand....BUT, I think I have finally found a company that is capable of producing a larger volume, and guarantees to meet all the detailed specs I have requested. At this time I am working on a sample to send out so that they can build their jigs, and make one set of pipes. Once that is done, the pipes will be sent to me. They will be checked against my jigs, and scrutinized in great detail. I will be cutting the first set of pipes completely open to check for quality of weld, penetration...ect. If that passes my inspection, I will be ordering 20 sets to start with, and will be able to supply the very high demand for this kit. Each set of pipes will still be coming to me, and each set will be put in MY jigs to ensure proper fitment and that it passes my QC. Only then will it be boxed up, and shipped out to customers. So for those who are patiently waiting I want to say thank you, and that I am working hard on getting these out to you guys. This particular manufacturer also builds very high end Titanium exhaust/intake kits, and if there is enough demand, I hope to have them build a few sets of titanium charge pipes that go in the engine bay for this kit. Something like this (just a random google image, but it gives you an idea of the finish): Sasha

Very cool info. Hopefully they will come through with their quality. That will give you some extra time and provide more kits to the customers! Win win.

Ill take some 3" intakes with extended mafs please. Sounds like without the extensions the 3" run out around 14psi. Id like to go up to 16psi for a track setting.

So for all you guys running high boost why after so many years of these kits being around is it only come to light recently? Have people just been doing these upgrades and keeping it to themselves? Or are tuning companies just not paying attention when they go to tune? Or are they knowingly maxing out the mafs and tuning in extra fuel just to be safe?
I'm genuinely curious no one stumbled onto this earlier. 2.5" MAF tubes are a recipe for disaster...

Sasha, I was just thinking. Being that now your making 3inch intake tubes and in a different material plus the extended mafs. Maybe you could update you turbo kit listing in your home page with a parts upgrade listing for people to see what else you offer and for people who already have your kits who would like to upgrade they're kits to go into higher horsepower goals.

Correct, I have not done that. When this kit came out 2.5 year ago now, the general understanding was that the stock block limit was in the low to mid 500whp range. With the original 2.75" piping on the test car, the tuner had no concerns with the MAF voltage, or at least none that were relayed to me. I am not a pro tuner, so my understanding was that all is well. I also noticed that one other turbo kit had 2.5" charge pipes, and was making over 500whp....again, re-assurance that the MAF sensor flow limits were in check. On top of that other kits were able to push the 2.75" charge pipes well in to the 600whp range, again, no flags came up. I have gone to the larger 3" diameter charge pipes with the next round of kits (working on 16 at the moment) and I believe that this will provide more than enough safety margin even for those pushing in to the 600's.
