I'm really interested to see KB's turnkey kit pricing in comparison to Nelson's kit. The latter is running about $4800 all inclusive including fueling and tune. I fully expect KB's to be cheaper and of equal quality. I also don't exactly like the cold piping routine on Nelson's kit.

yea kb's kit is made for good quality but cheap in price... for someone who wants a good reliable kit without spending an arm and a leg! and he is easy to get ahold of which is great!!

A flipped manifold, T6 turbo hot side would be real nice. I would think the manifold would hold more of the weight of the big *** turbo than a log would. I was going to use the heat shield mounting points for a turbo support...to hold the weight together as a unit.
