Edit: nvm. Pretty basic, still need to set up your fuel system.

yea lol just saw that theres no fuel set up in the basic kit.......and kinda pricey too. the components themselves look like pretty good quality though. just not really worth that much money without any fuel setup IMO

it does come with the beefy turbonetics mani though. but you're prolly better off buying just the mani and piecing together your own kit.

The last I heard Slowboy was uh.......slow like Howell :P
I also vote "piece together your own kit"

sbr says the fuel system consists of walbro 255, 550cc injectors and a safc2. it sounds wrong to me. i tried on three different cars to get this kinda setup to work. the ecu could not control those big injectors with out a adhustable fule pressure regulator of sfmu. i know that setup works for many hondas but it never worked for me or any of my buddies. i think they need to test this more.

I think you hit the nail on the head there. The DP and manifold looks top notch. I really trust the Slow Boy name, but with the fuel system they have set up, it sounds like they came up with this design on paper, and well everything works perfect on paper.

You got it, that kit is a bomb waiting to go off in your engine bay. Untill they actually do a little r&d on their fuel system, I wouldnt touch that kit with a 20' pole.

i agree! the parts themselvs look great but 550cc injectors isnt that a little much? plus no pressure regulator! i vote piect your own kit togather! it would be much cheaper, and you will get a fuel system that wont blow up your motor!

They said they've done it on several cars, (the fuel system that is), I'm thinking there is away, because I've seen it done with a emange or megasquirt replacing the SAFC.
Oh well I've got mine already.
What I want to do is have them make an intercooler kit and downpipe flanged for the T3/T4 set up, and the main BOV that are used today.
I think they'd make more money sticking to selling the parts of the kit seperately for the custom turbo kit people. That intercooler they've got looks real good, I wonder if it gets in the way of anything when trying to install it.
