[QUOTE="Juiced46, post: 15574419, member: 11519"] One of the most critical things to keep your engine alive, aside from a good fuel system is a good wastegate(s) Is the life of your engine not important enough that you would not spend a few extra hundred $$$ to buy the correct parts? Is it worth it to roll the dice that one time when you go WOT and that $100 wastegate gets stuck closed and before its too late you melt some ringlands? You know all it takes one over boost for an "oops" then it is rebuild time right? The buyer of my turbo Cobra purchased an On3 twin kit. It is complete trash. I do not care what anyone says. Its CHEAP. He bought my roller and $15,000 longblock which I built and installed in the car, he is finishing the rest of the car. I installed a few of the On3 parts, manifolds etc. It is ALL junk. The flanges on the manifolds were not straight, the V band flanges were not straight. The manifold holes to bolt to the head were not drilled correctly, slightly offset so they did not bolt up to the heads correctly. Their "Billet" oil filter relocation kit is very cheaply built. The coolant hose FACES the manifold. Modifications need to be done to the kit to make it fit correctly. That is just a few components. Then you have the $50 turbos, wastegates and BOVs. There is a reason it is cheap. In the long run, it will cost you more headaches and $$ to make it right and fix broken stuff. Do your self a favor, if you cannot afford it. Wait, save, whatever you have to do to buy quality parts. Everyone wants to make 1000rwhp. They watch youtube videos and do not know the complete story on most builds. But not everyone understands what it entails to do it CORRECTLY. 1000rwhp is not an easy task. It is even a harder task with cheap parts. I can provide pictures of what I mentioned above to for anyone that is interested in the very poor On3 quality. [/QUOTE]
