Stay away. There are two many other kits out there with higher quality parts for just a little bit of money more. When they first started the quality was decent but it has went down considerably in the recent months. Could you build your own? I did mine and saved quite a bit of money that way.

I looked at buying the stuff and building my own "kit" but it turned out being just as expensive if not more than the on3 kits.

it depends on the car its for... if its a stock 5.0L foxbody its pretty haggard.The one for the 2011+ mustangs looks pretty nice on the few i've seen them on.

I've got the standard 5.0 kit from them sitting across from me right now in my office at work. got it off corral through power adder systems as it was actually cheaper through him than through chad directly. the older kits are the ones that suck, the newer ones are actually pretty nice.

the hot side is thicker mild steel now. the only major issue people have still is the t-bolt clamps suck. just invest in better ones that clamp more tightly and dont allow leaks. Also, common knowledge is to take apart the wastegate and bov and clean them out before using as there is normally machining flakes still in there.

almost done collecting stuff for this kit. I ran one on another car a a year ago that I sold to some dude while I was out on folly.

I'm setting this one up the same way.

stock shortblock, F303 cam, gt40p heads, explorer intake w/tbody
46lb lightning injectors
stinger performance pimp ecu
14point7 wideband sensor
on3 turbo kit w/upgraded t-bolt clamps and turbo blanket
walbro 255lph fuel pump

thats it. just been taking my time uber slow with it.

CSU seems to be about the best from what I have read online. I kept EFI but know a lot of guys using the CSU stuff.
