The good old HKS tubular manifold still performs with the best of them :) Though I would also be sorely tempted by one of Whifbitzs masterpieces :cool:

 

you mean fullrace masterpieces lol ;)

 

6Boost Manifold I heard is a good setup too

 

If you can afford it I would just get a tried and tested kit like the HKS

For my education, why would you consider it overkill?

 

Depending which variant you go with it's an 800 to 1000+ HP turbo. IIRC they are 70mm minimum. Effectively the bigger the turbo the further up the rev range the power comes into play, in a street car you want the power to come in as quickly as possible while still being useable. Most would agree that 500-700 is the ideal street setup. With that in mind you want to look for a turbo that makes that power easily enough, but with not too much of an overhead.

We've just fitted an BW 8374 EFR turbo with one our turbo kits, off to the dyno tomorrow to check the power figure on it, spools up very fast this baby. The EFRs have a superb spec on them plus they have a blow off valve and boost control solenoid built into it so saving money there on extra items you don't need to buy for your build.

 

Not sure what happened with Deans BW turbo but apart from that we haven't heard of any failures. We hear of plenty of Precision failures though, that's why we don't sell them with our kits.

 

Jellybean, not sure what you mean about Fullrace? They don't make them for us if that's what you mean?
