From: Here and sometimes there too.
There are two small items that do need to be addressed, one being that the PCM needs to be moved about 2 inches, and some low-profile e-fans need to be fitted.
Other than that the kit just bolts in.

Okay so is this what sets it apart from say some of the vendors on this site? What are some other differences? I am guessing size and quality of turbo, wastegate, bov? Just from someone who has looked at other turbo kits I think explaining what sets this kit apart would really help a potential buyer. I know when guys see some of the Japanese budget kits they won't understand the difference in why this one is priced the way it is.

I would assume your referring to the Log Style manifolds that KBRacing and Trick produce. If that's the case you bring up the debate of Log vs. Tubular. They each have their pro's and con's but the general consensus is that Tubular manifolds out-perform logs. DON'T take that as saying that logs don't work because that simply isn't true. I think Parish, Stock48 and many others have proven that time and again.
There's lots of reasons, some good some and some not as good as to why one out-performs the other.
General reasons why Tubular manifolds outperform log-style manifolds on design are:
-The radius of the bends that make up the exhaust primaries maintain pulse energy
-The exhaust primaries equal length balance exhaust reversion across all cylinders
- They avoid rapid area changes to maintain pulse energy to the turbine
-At the collector they introduce flow from all runners at a narrow angle to minimize "turning" of the flow in the collector
-For better boost response, they minimize the exhaust volume between the exhaust ports and the turbine inlet
-For best power, tuned primary lengths runners are used.
Tubular design as a whole is a much better and much more efficient design. It's also why you'll mostly see tubular manifolds on race cars. If you wanna see crazy designs look up the turbo days of F-1 before they were banned.
Hope that helps!

Ohhhh dammmnnnn.....
What are the specs on the turbo?
I'm assuming this doesn't fit with factory e-fans? Can you fit dual fans, or only a single like in your photos?
Also, kind of looks like the highest crossover in front of water pump might be too high to run with the lower opening/tb positioning of an lsxr...

So Turbo specs are:
GT-42/02
T 4 Flange
110 AR
102 X Deucer.
And no it doens't fit with factory fans but they do fit with dual aftermarket e-fans. They just need to be low profile fans, not hard to find and not expensive either. As far as the LSXR intake TB opening, never ran it with that intake so I really don't know about the fitment of it. I could be wrong obviously but I think it would work ok.
