They are coating mild steel. Kit cost for mild steel and cast manifold was around $2600.

I am running two 45 degree fittings for the primary rail....the feed side is using a straight fitting and the return side is using a 120 degree fitting.
I am running two 90 degree fittings for the secondary rail.....the feed side is using a straight fitting and the return side is using a 90 degree fitting.
I ran into problems with my injector connectors for the primary fuel rail.....that is my largest hold up.

...I never claimed anything about MS.
it was in reference to rotaryman88s statement...
not sure why the change to ms was made from ss..
aside from what ive already stated...ss is also lighter..
unless the ms was coated throughout...meanin inside and out..
id gather its still susceptible to rust...
im assuming the cost difference was made here..

Ivan and others down there had problems with the SS cracking under high boost. So they tried MS out with the Ceramic coating and it held up alot better. That is about all I know....if Ivan posts on here, I am sure he will know tons more details. Sorry for my vague post.

This is an email I recieved from Ivan about this:
The mild steel ceramic coated pipes are a new project that we are doing as well, I have done one for my car and I prefer it to the Stainless one I had before, running at 25psi. It is way more reliable than the SS pipes that the other shops are offering because, we heat treat them and ceramic coat the pipes as well, we recently have had a SS pipe crack on the dyno, and Tim was there to witness it because he was doing the tuning, and he was the one that stressed the fact that the mild steel is better as the 3.8mm thickness will not crack

There kit has come along way. I still feel that ours is better. Here's a shot of ours that was delivered to a member on this forum....
Oh and I will not be responding to anymore such replies, only questions about the kits being made.
Thanks,Sean

Well since we are on the subject? What has been improved upon? I am curious since I bought an RPM kit from Ivan. Also, I see that HKS sellls a GT35/40 turbo kit.....is it more or less the same? I know it is not an FD kit, but it's still a GT35/40.
Thanks,
Scott
