I've never seen them before. Good price but alot of the parts in the kit are a bunch of no name parts. "HKS Style" or "Like a Vortech"...the wastegate doesn't even look to be branded. Be careful.

Hahaha, "275 whp at 8 psi".
What a joke.

That really doesn't look like much of a kit. Nothing has been fabricated; it is just a collection of cheap "off the shelf" parts. It's a Treadstone (Star rip-off) manifold, generic T3/T4 turbo, unbranded wastegate, a wastegate outlet flange (but no dump tube in site), OBX FMU (world renown for their quality), almost-HKS blow off valve, universal FMIC with no visible brackets, 90 and 45 degree bends of no particular configuration (that could possibly form IC piping), a blow off valve flange that must be welded to one of those miscelaneous bends, a downpipe flange and 90 degree bend that could be welded to point towards your existing downpipe, a missing link valve (hopefully it is legit), and a Walbro 255 pump (hopefully it is the high-pressure model). It's almost a kit. That last 10% will take 90% of the effort. The site is also very generic. It focuses entirely on the 420A, but only shows pictures of exotic cars and only carries three forms of the same item. I wouldn't be surprised if the owner had multiple webstores just as generic as this one, but focusing on a different car per name. At best, I'm unimpressed with the kit. Beyond that, I'm suspiscous of their legitimacy. I suggest you either buy a kit that is 100% bolt-on or build the whole thing yourself.

It is but Hahn pretty much bench marked that number for an intercooled "kit" when it went up on their site. So is life.
No, Hahn made their measurement at the Crankshaft. Not the wheels. That is why I said this one is a joke.

how do you know that? does hahn have an engine dyno or something?
That's what they are claiming under their Stage 2 specs. I never said it is a true number, I said that is what Hahn claims on their website.
Jeez man, picky today?

I have that exact same kit, I bought it about a year ago off e-bay before protek had a site. Protek racing was only selling them on e-bay. I rushed out and bought a kit before I knew anything about turbos....so I was a little dissapointed when I found out it was all China made knock off's. I thought it was really a HKS BOV and a real Garett Turbo hahaha. But Honestly they get the job done, the car is fast as hell and everything on the turbo system is still working great! If your are strapped for cash and really want to go turbo this is not a bad idea. But the people before me were right...there was NO dump tube and No fuel system. I just made my own dump tube and put in a walbro 255 and Vortech 12:1 FMU. It works great I run 8 psi daily, and the intercooler fit perfect!!

i guess i wouldnt complain either granted you would save about 2g's and could use that to get a portfueler and pistons rods then dish out a little for machine shop fee's, then blam 11sec car for around the price of hahn's stage 3 with sticky ickeys of course.

I'm thinking of buying the kit, of course the 275WHP is complete bull, but does any 1 have real #'s from this kit... I dont care about brand name at all. I have a 96GS with a ebay exhaust kit lol ^_^
#98871, "RE: Protek Turbosystems" In response to Reply # 15
Maybe 200 whp if it all works.

Unless you really know what you are doing... if you were really careful and had a standalone manangement system and a wideband, lots of experience or pay someone with lots of experience. Lots of people (including myself) destroyed their stock engine with a HRC "stage 1/2" system, I was using stock injectors, a Cartech fuel pressure riser, and a narroband blinky AFR gauge. That was 4 years ago when I didn't know shit from shit.
