VERY NICE! Finally, a VIABLE option to Toyomoto! What a great price! Congrats Mo and Associates!
I have a couple of questions...
1) Why is the intake so many pieces? Is there an advantage or was it just easier to manufacturer?
2) Will this setup work in a SC300?
3) What's up with a twin-turbo setup for the GS430? PM if you like...

What about the first gen GS? I read what you said above, but elaborate...Please don't do the normal thing on this board and just dismiss the "original" GS. I'm looking for about 320-340 HP...
What are the major differences? Manifold? I can find that elsewhere....would the rest of the kit work? What would you rkit be sans the manifold?

Were the numbers from the dyno and the installation come from a car with an aftermarket exhaust? An aftermaket exhaust like the Borla or L-Tuned makes very little difference on its own. Will it help with the Turbo? Or will a Turbo setup with the stock exhaust yield respectable numbers?
Thanks. Looking forward to more details on the Stage 2 and 3.

1) when will Stage 2 be out and what will be included
2) Can we control boost via controler or is it set by the piggy back ECU
3) you said "The intake section after the turbo to the manifold is 6 pieces, this was done for the ease of installation, we could have reduced the number of pieces, but then the parts would be bulky and installation would not be as easy" so does this mean we can get it in less pcs? if the install is only a little harder I would not mind with less chance of a leak.
4) are all the stages of the system bilt on one another IF you buy a stage 2 can you up grade to a stage 3,4,5. or is this not posible.
Well thanks for the kit and the time we can all enjoy boost at a reasonable price.

Wow so many ?s and so little time.
Here goes:
Neo: The test car had and aftermarket exhaust rear section only, we used the factory mid section, however due to customers requests we might be making a complete turbo exhaust system with 3" SS pipes.
Warranty: I am not 100% decided on this yet, we are currently looking at 6 months on part and one year on electronics. However I might up that to 1 year all together. No warranty whatsoever on the customers car.
Stage 2 will be out in the next 2-3 weeks and will include a front mount intercooler and hard pipes, with a finer more aggressive tune, boost will be left at 7.5 PSI MAX.
The boost is controlled via a boost regulator, and not user adjustable, however users that retrofit a boost controller must be very careful not to increase boost beyond the recommended max value and also all warranties are void.
The intake pipes are in multiple pieces and cannot have less. Boost leak is minimal as all our pipes are bead rolled and it would almost be impossible for them to come loose.
Stages 1-3 are same built, however stage 4 and stage 5 are different with a different turbo unit, slight manifold changes, 3" downpipe, etc. For stages 1-3, yes you can upgrade in stages and it will net be much more expensive.
