Just chose this for this vehicle this time...so far for my tastes I am glad I did. Everything is a compromise.

it hard to know how many you have out there. I think you have a great kit and will sell lots of them.

those who claim their turbo system have no lag are smoking crack..
anyhow.. The con to any turbo kit is the complexity, introduction of new oil lines/coolant lines and potential contamination of your engine. Oh, and it does have lag too.
It takes alot to make an OEM turbo system relieable and 90% of the actions /precautions/design taken on the OEM side are NOT done on the aftermarket side..
But these are all gambles we are willing to make for fun! so enjoy it!

Every Turbo system will bring more heat into the engine bay, uncoated or coated. Nature of the beast. How much is not easy to meassure. Then there is the questions like, do I relocate this item? Or this item? What would others rather do? Whats easier? Whats less mess? I tried to design our kit without all this, but that just does not happen 100%. You still have to adjust stuff.
Want HP? Or want OEM?

I never said no lag, I said less lag. If you're not refering to what I said then nevermind.
A lot more R&D goes into OEM designs for sure, but what aftermarket company has the resources that Mitsibishi or Subaru or any of the big three have. I know one of the Aussie companies casts thier own manifolds, which is as OEM as it gets. They don't make them for trucks, but there's word they might. Plus our engines in stock form weren't built for boost so all bets are off anyway.

Swapped out the T60-1 for a MP t-70 and was worried I get more lag, but I can't tell a difference it spool time. I did keep the .68 exhaust housing though. I think it's a bit stronger with this turbo too. It's more in the lower to middle of it efficiency range. Seem to spins the tires a little harder from the top if first to the middle of second,

A little off topic but here you go.
got a little altitude info for you guys. Buddy of mine was at Band
imere 5800 ft. , for truck fest with his 01 duramax his mods are - edge chip, exaust, cai and 75 shot of nitrous. Best he could pull with the juice was a 14.3 -
Talked to him a few weeks back, said he went to the track in Grand Junction which is 1,000 ft. lower than here say 4,800 ft. Said he ran a 14.0 without the juice.
That right there is proof that altitude does effect time with turbos

The jury is still out on nitrous though.
