BTW, on the top photos(Aspec's kit)..that does look like a turbosmart WG, but my question is why would they be using it? Turbosmart is primarily an AU company and we had enough trouble with them trying to get our stuff and our kits are made in AU. I'm puzzled how or why Aspec would use them.
Our kit is the same as unvmyrx7, however, since he has purchased his..there have been some changes. We have switched to Tial wastegates(better reliability for servicing, turbosmart takes forever to get stuff lately!), changed to 3.8mm mild steel and ceramic coating which has proven stronger then SS. We also are using a new fabricator who is supposed to be a lot more skilled, and he does an awesome job with the ceramic coating!
In the past we have also proven to be cheaper(in price) then Aspec, but we'll see how it all comes down now that they have competition,lol.

Lane_change...I was trying to get a hold of you a few weeks ago to see if you got the kit installed. It looks good thus far. I can't wait to see some of your numbers. Some of the other guys we sold them to already dynoed their cars, but with bad maps from the PowerFC. We'd like to see some high numbers for you after that wait! Good luck, and keep us posted....

It is installed but my car still isn't running. I am having problems with my fuel system....in need of connectors to fit my top feed primary fuel rail. The ones from Jason are too wide and can not fit next to each other without hitting the posts.
The motor is in, the turbo is in, the fuel lines, pump, rails, etc...are in....just some real small **** left, then I have to break it in, and go tune it for 17psi and dyno her.
I really hope for at least around 450rwhp or so at 17psi...that would be great. We'll see though. I got my 3 Bar installed so I can tune for my 20psi+ pulls as well and see how close I can get to 500rwhp. I guess I'll see if I am the lone person with a good motor from BNR?

Lane_change: pm me on the fitting problems with the fuel rail. I ended up having to do 4 90 degree bends on the primary and secondary rails (Keith's rails).
A friend just saw 415+RWHP at 16 psi. This was on a baseline run after a new fuel pump. It's being tuned for more boost. now.
My personal goal is 500RWHP before 20psi. I always exceed my personal goals...

always had the notion that stainless steel has a better resistance to heat transfer and corrosion
doesnt need coating....higher tensile strength..

If it's the same turbo, basically the same manifold and the only differences are the piping, why is yours better?
For the DP alone I would pay the difference in price. Not to mention that I have met Sean in person, drooled over his car, and hence have some trust established with him. People will pay more for quality of service.
