Hopefully on3 new stuff is better quality, i know two people that had their kids and the piping was total garbage and practically fell apart within a few months.

It doesn't have the quality as the $4000-6000 turbo kits but from what I've been finding is this kit is much better. FF headers allow for less piping and in turn better chance of good fitment. I've seen quite a few On3 build threads and the quality seem very nice for $2000.

I have a buddy with the first gen On3 kit and it's still running strong after 10k+ miles. Hit or miss type deal.

It's a bunch of Chinese stuff with decently built tubular headers. If you search around you'll find a lot of satisfied customers. I know of many people running 500+whp with his kits. One guy of which will be making a 9 second pass with the kit.

If you're expecting top quality, name brand stuff you shouldn't be looking at On3 but for $2k it's a solid kit.

never really had an interest in turbo's. i heard they're hard to tune because of their inconsistency being exhaust driven

Care to explain why you think tuning turbos are more difficult?

Back when I had my turbo'd lt1 I had to get it in 3 different tuners hands and it seemed each tuner had different beliefs and ways of tuning it.
