I've heard that BG kits fit right the first time and you don't have to wait for ever and 3 days to get it delivered.

I've seen the in's and out's of one of their mod motor kits. I think it offers a lot of bang for the buck just don't expect the same fit and finish you get some a company like Hellion or any of the supercharger kits out there.

I haven't got Into mine yet but I assume the quality isn't like hellion but if ur looking for a affordable effective kit these have been proven to work great

I think it's a better bang for the buck than any nitrous kit since you don't have to refill a turbo. :).

I'll probably go this route when I make my move. For the money it gets you in the boost game completely for cheap.

Someone post pics of their kits whenever they get them, i'm curious to know how they can sell a complete kit so cheap. I'm guessing it's cheap steel/wastegate/turbo. Hell you could probably buy the kit, sell the turbo, buy a turbonetics piece and still come out ahead as opposed to a full hellion kit or something.

Blackout bought one for his 01 and it didn't fit good at all. It needed some reworking. But I'd say its a good deal if you have help.

Got my kit mostly installed today. Everything but down pipe. The kit is a used kit and has prolly 5-10k on it and when I put it on it fit like a glove. Little trimming to the front Lx bumper was all that's needed

I have looked at the on3 kits ... Now that i am going with a EFI swap in my 83. A turbo is screaming my name. How much is the kit without the upgraded turbo?. and what is wrong with the turbo that comes in the kit?
any info would be appreciated
(sorry to thread jack but figured you could help)

I believe u can get a new kit shipped to ur door for 1429 from power adder solutions if u pm them off the corral, keep the basic turbo and when she blows upgrade to a t76 like I'm gonna do when I break my 5speed and swap to a glide or a c4.

01-02-2012, 01:01 AM
I know from on3 or jegs its rite about 1500 I know the warranty is better with the upgraded Turbo but I don't see ne thing wrong with the normal Turbo they make just as much power

01-02-2012, 01:03 AM
I run the normal gt40 heads an I know there close to the plugs an the normal gt40 are the same location as stock plugs so I don't see them working but I could be wrong

Thanks for posting them buddy, I get more pics soon I gonna wrap my downpipe and crossover pipe tonight when I get home so I can finish up install this weekend

Alright guys I was finishing up the install tonight, the downpipe fit good like the rest of the kit. Well here is where I ran into problems I got the crossover pipe installed and it pushes my intercooler pipe forward so far I can fit my electric fan on. No matter how much I move the crossover around it still hits intercooler pipe. Anyone else have this issue cuz this thing has me so mad its about to come off and go down the road

iwould also like to know if they will work with p heads
tmotorsports
01-15-2012, 09:50 PM
Yes they work with the P heads.i bought one straight from on3 last summer with the Mp76mm and the mass air sensor kit.cost me right at $2000.was not a direct bolt-on my mechanic had to do some extra work.But well worth the money I think

yes it will

sucks they dont offer the mp turbos any more.
ive done a ton of on3 installs, not a hater, not a fan boy any more either. the base turbos are hit or miss, some have no issues, alot seem to. i always told every one to upraged the turbo from the rip. i have tons of pics and tricks etc.
the 76mm on a 302 does have fitment issues at the alt for sure.
just ordered these in to fix one kit.

what do you want to know?
the cross over flex section fails, get a reinforced one.
theres lots of info on corral about the kits in the turbo section.
hell i have pics and details of the new 2011 up 5.0 kits too!

Does anyone know if there is any way to have air conditioning with one of these kits? I have one with a 70mm Garret on a 306. I'd love to put air on it.
