Post by: Td3620 on January 07, 2014, 08:18:18 AM
Anyone installed one of these?  If so what do you think?

Where is the exhaust manifold in the picture? Same kit can not fit both 2.0 and 2.3 engines. Scam????

That kit doesn't come with an exhaust manifold. Another problem with it is the lack of a standard flange for an air filter. That might be fine at a drag strip but not a DD. For the money it's a decent price but a ton of fab work.

I have an extra A.K. Miller 2.0L turbo exhaust manifold for $235 (my original cost) plus shipping if anyone needs it.

Is this for carb. or fuel injection? Would a t-bird exhaust manifold work?

eBay turbo stuff is pretty much always a bad idea.
