I really like the fact that you guys offer a NA version manifold that can be later used when you buy the turbo kit.

Are there any modifications needed to be made to the car to make the kit fit? (cutting crash beams/ grinding brackets etc)

We wanted to make the installation as easy and reversible as possible. The only modifications required are to bend the bottom of the crash beam a bit to clear the lower intercooler pipe. This in no way affects the function of the beam and is totally reversible. The only other modification is to use a hole saw to fit the wastegate dump tube through the skid plate. Recirc kits do not require that. Ours is one of the only kits that requires no cutting of the beam and no relocation or loss of the washer bottle.

Thanks for the quick response. Im still doing my research but thats one of my main concerns. Your kit and P&L both seem to have the little modification i'm still very early in the process but hopefully i will be in contact soon.

Any update on numbers/results for the NA header? Your kit is the kit I will be buying in the future, but I'm not at that point yet. Interested in the ability to convert from NA to your kit later on with the use of the same manifold

Nice to see someone else interested in smaller turbos!

@Revolutions Performance, any chance you could build a kit with a T25 based turbo, catted downpipe and recirculated WG dump?

There's exactly zero places to get e85, and I'm more interested in a smooth linear powerband for track use than big power, so a smaller lower spooling turbo would be a much better fit for me. 300whp would be the absolute max headroom I would need, more realistically around 250-275 whp max.

Adam down at Revolutions is surely still manufacturing the kits. I just got my car back on Saturday. Exceeds my expectations.
