Does the kit come with journal or ball bearing turbos?

I’m guessing journal bearings to keep the price down and competitive

Is this kit ready to go or is it still in the R&D stages?

We are still waiting on pieces to come in unfortunately. The main delay is the intercooler/piping manufacture we were using. We had to switch to a different supplier after we ok'd fitment on everything, which threw a wrench in our timeline. At this point we are still looking around a few months out until our new supplier gets our products up and going. We are pushing them as hard as we can. The good part is once we dial everything in we should have several kits for different vehicles coming out within a few months of each other.

Thanks

Impressive kit. I can understand supplier issues. I love your take on, how do I say, well tested/fitted kits made appropriately cheap which I imagine is over seas. I have a set of your long tube headers on a bench to install. ;-)

Journal bearings are damn OK. I had a 500 hp Subaru STi with a journal bearing turbo that spooled just fine. Its not rocket surgery.

Will this kit clear your truck alternator relocation bracket?

It will clear the factory alternator bracket, but not our conversion bracket. It sticks the alternator too far out.

Thanks
