Default On3 performance turbo kit?

Im sure this has been posted on the forum by now but I just wanted to see if any fellow mach brethren have any experience or know of any mach owners who have ran this kit.

Reading some of the threads over on svtp, people are making decent numbers on 2v's and termie's and it seems like the main issue ppl have been having is some one the piping being a little off. To be honest with how "cheap" the kit is, a few headaches is something i'd be willing to put up with to save a couple grand. Around 4-4500 tuned depending on supporting mods and hp goals.

Had I not ordered my MM coilovers and rear goodies i would have pulled the plug on this kit. Either way, im considering ordering it this winter. Plan B is to go with a Hellion setup in the spring after tax returns. Thoughts??

I've heard some bad things. You get what you pay for. When it comes to engine/induction it's something i don't cheap out on.

Where in texas are you.. I was going to have a custom one built, SS metal, all the piping, installed for $4K.. I would defiantly skip On3. I would rather be supercharged then buying that crap.

Im located in Houston GTRACER. Who was gonna build the kit for you? Can yall be more specific on why yall feel the kit isnt good? The welding on the piping looks solid and its made out of the same steel used on the hellion kits.. Not to mention I've seen a few ppl post up fitement problems they had on their 6k HP kits.

And 99 GT, not sure on the turbo just yet, I have to look into that more. Either way, I would polish it myself, run a heat shield and have the header and down pipe coated and then wrap them.

most issues I've read about are piping cracking on the hot side. Some issues with fitment, but i mean its a cheaper kit. Honestly if you have a k-member and coil overs already or plan on doing those items anyways this is not that bad of a kit.
