Nice looking. I like how easy it is to remove the turbo with the 2 piece v-band manifold.
One thing concerns me though. They put together such a nice kit , but give you rubber lines for the oil feed & coolant?

The only thing I really had to do was get a winter tune, because the car was originally tuned during the hot summer weather, and now its about 50-60 degrees outside, the turbo started making too much boost.
As for your concerns about the coolant lines, its actually made from very high temp material, its not your average home depot rubber hose lol. I don't recall what the max temp those hoses are rated for, but if your car can melt them, then you've got other bigger problems to worry about. Also those lines actually insulate heat really well too.
We also ran the car at the track a few times this last season. My car has full interior, AC, and running street tires (Dunlop Star Spec). Car ran low 12's, and if I wasn't running 4.3FD and had drag tires on, we think it could dip into high 11's.

S20004me, tryed quoting you but it wouldnt let me >
but ya, these are the answers i wanna hear.
I was kinda thinking ppl were going to say its crap for only making 400hp at 14psi on a stock engine but it does look geat and the price is great.
and honestly, 400hp at that boost is good enough lol
What set up do you run?
like what other items did you buy along with the kit from forged?
injectors?
ems?
plugs?
ect?
just curious.
How much total was it for everything?
