FMU???
Looks like it's more of a drag racing kit than for the street. And those steel equal length manifolds are prone to cracking. I think it doesn't include enough in the kit be be worth it. What other specs are there? From the pic it looks like an awful big turbo, is it a ball bearing? What trim sizes is the turbo?

Damn, nice looking exhaust manifold setup there. I don't know about the cracking like pwman said, but it sure looks like a nice job. That's custom I'm assuming? To answer your question though...I agree with pwman, for a used kit, it doesn't sound like it includes enough for it to command a price that high.

It's not used, they are all brand new. I found it on another site, and for like 3899 it comes with that setup, and a bigass front mount, just needs the right engine and fuel management to back it up. i'll post a link if i can find it
ALSO, the reason many equal length stainless headers crack, is that people don't account for the expanding of stainless. Ask burns stainless and they will tell you. You have to give stainless steel room to expand, otherwise it will crack.

Found the link, the only thing different about this one is that the wastegate is located differently, the guy on groupbuy relocated it.

actually even more important is to have the proper steel 351 is a good choice.....stay away from mild steel.....and the welds must be properly made....otherwise it will crack

Looks like a great drag kit, but I don't see AC or room for AC in that car. If your goin all drag, get it. Be sure to budget in a fuel pump, injectors, and at the least an SAFC, at best Hondata.

I've heard that those equal length manifolds are better as long they are good quality. The only thing I wanted to comment on was the BOV in that first pic. It is a tial bov, it is good but will hurt performance under 15psi. I had the EXACT same one and it always fluttered under low boost, i replaced it with a smaller turboxs unit so now I don't lose any pressure through this one.

Not worth it. If you only get the turbo, manifold, dp and wastegate. What happend to getting a bov, intercooler, and all the piping. I got my kit for 4k. It came with a precisition T4 60-1, inlinepro manifold, tial bov and 40mm wastegate, greddy type 24 intercooler, custom piping, 440's, afc, fmu, 255lph intank pump. You could get a lot more for a lot less if you piece it together yourself.
