Chris took these at NOPI https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...31&pagenumber=1

Mine is the black (read higher hp) one. I am going to aluminum piping so I can polish it for a little more visual impact.

I'd rather not disclose what I paid but you can buy the kit for $6,200 plus a few misc. items (V-AFC, gauges,etc.).

Another viable option is a Silvia T28 (full bearing Garrett, T25 footprint) at 8-10 psi and water injection at stock compression.

I know you and Donovan are very familiar with DSM's but this isn't a DSM. This car has 11 to 1 compression ratio from the factory and internal wastegates are just more prone to boost creep. Even alot of the DSM guys that were previously 16g powered are switching to hifi 60-1 T4 units with an external wastegate. It's just a better set up especially when we're talking about the S2000. I'm not trying to start anything, I used you guys (Atmosphere) often when I had my Eclipse but the S2000 is not a factory turbo and it is pretty sensitive compared to most cars.
