Fully Built does great work, but alot of people who go with this setup end up wanting ALOT more, so they sell it soon after. Chris' work is great through, my friend Jeff had the superstock turbo on his car, but ended up with an AGP 50-trim for the exact reason I listed above.

How hard is it to get back there and remove the manifold and turbo? Is it an all day thing or half day. The intake manifold shouldn't be to hard right? While the exhaust is off, might as well put the mopar bov conversion on.

Reading the SRT service manual and helping my tech at my dealer take mine off when we repaired it proved to be a PIA.

Remove:
Intake
Battery
Coilpack/Wires
Air charger hose
Downpipe
02 housing
Heat Shield
(I think thats it)
Remove Turbo/Manifold

Lots of fun *eyeroll*

Personally, I think it could be a very good deal. You can't get that kind of horsepower for the money doing anything else. I do wonder what mods the "test" cars had done to support thier claim. If it works that well or nearly that well on a lightly modded stage 0 or 1, I wonder what it would do combined with say a stage two and a few well chosen supports. It does make me wonder. If nothing else, porting the intake and exhaust is a worthy venture and would surely increase power even with no other mods. And 450 bucks is not a lot of money to have someone with experience doing your porting. I cant help but think this to be potentially a very good deal. As long as they know what they are doing. I'll be looking at them some more myself.

josh is in the high 11s with that turbo for all you naysayers there is so much untapped power left in the the stock turbine and compressor if you can just get rid of all that back pressure and thats what this setup does. it reduces back pressure and as an added bonus improves turbine efficiency.

it seems to me the way they are able to do this cheap and it be effective is that most people go ahead and send the their parts back for the additional work and that cuts their cost down outrageously allowing to sell dirt cheap
