ACE is Force Induction money on just a header. I'm good. I say go with either Tomei, JDL or Ftspeed (formally known as ft86speedfactory). Could even get them cheap if you look of sales on facebook or the forum.

Some of us are on FI budgets but don't need or care for FI. I had bought a turbo kit for my car and sold it before it ever went on.

Where are you seeing new FI for the same price as a new ace header? My ace 250 100% new from ft86speedfsctory was 1350$ shipped btw. I realize the 350s are about 1700$, but if you got the hookup on a new FI setup for 1700$ please hook a brother up that is some deals. |

I didnt say it was the price of a new set up lmbo. But its sure enough half the price of a JDL turbo kit.

So really the price isn’t even close is what your saying? Understood FI is still good bang for buck, but ACE ain't bad bang for buck for what it is either especially when NA has a hard cap that can’t be reached otherwise. |

I procured a P&L catted header a few years back and love it. Not as good as Ace but still pretty good, and I like the sounds it makes. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk |

I don't follow the logic and I've seen it posted many, many times.
"A header is $1 and FI is $2 so you may as well just go FI" It makes no sense. You are generally interested in doing one or the other or none of the above. Someone doing a NA build could spend twice as much as someone else doing a FI build. It doesn't mean that it was wasted money just because they have fewer ponies in the end. |

Just a used jdl kit go for 2k . All I'm saying is no need to waste that much money on small gains.

I’m a big advocate for FI. A mild low boost turbo setup is probably all around the best bang for buck you can get and I think NA gains are just a tease. But I understand some people’s reasoning for wanting to stay NA (several reasons for doing so) and with NA having such a hard cap on max potential and largely based on header, paying the premium for premium gains is worth it. |

Sure you can slap that used turbo kit for 2k but watch those oil temps. |

Many people that want to squeeze every single pony out of a NA build will likely go all out. If that means spending FI money so be it. They don't care what FI costs. I always leave it open as an option myself, but it's very unlikely to happen. |
