Default On3 turbo review?

Hey guys so I've decided that instead of a vortech I wanna go turbo anybody with personal experience with the on3 turbo kit? From what I've read so far I haven't really heard any negative things about this kit thanks guys!

Do you know how well it's holding up? How was installation? I heard that some have problems clearing the oil filter and others say it fits fine no clearance issues

dont take this the wrong way, but...

judging by the content of some of your posts, a turbo kit might not be a good idea for you.

we used the short ford filter vs fl-1a.........it was on there for 2 years iirc, put down 480 rwhp, ran 11.2...would of run better had he taken the time to work all the bugs out of the convertor set up..........but he eventually removed the whole set up and sold the car...........this was on a fox not sn-95........putting a turbo on is not simple as slap it on and go........it had a few small fitment issues that we worked out, required a tune on a dyno and matching components like getting the right gears in the rear for a turbo set up, he went from 3.55's to 3.08's back to 3.55's, I felt 3.31's would of been best for his set up.

Yeah I planned on getting custom tune and I was told the best gears to go with on the sn 5.0 was either 3.73 with auto and 4.10 with manual

Thats a lot of gear for a turbo car. I personally wouldn't go higher than 3.55 with a turbo or centrifugal blower.
