On3 or build your own

Because the headers are facing the front of the car and not the rear. Picture your stock headers...now flip them so they face the front. The headers and hot side piping come no where near the tranny. The regular kit also fits an auto but I suppose its simply a marketing gimmick for the forward-facing kit
A LOT of people had issues with the injectors. They also had issues with the wastegates failing. I would personally prefer a reputable brand like ID, FRPP, or Siemens Deka for injectors instead of "On3 Performance injectors". Same for the wastegates and whatnot. These parts are VERY important in the functionality of a turbo system, why skimp on them?

The biggest failing I have seen with the kit, is Tue hardware set for the wastegate. They supply a vac nipple that bolts on with a banjo fitting. This needs to be replaced with a straight m10 vac barb. The quality of the fitting supplied just sucks.
Having a leak at that fitting will cause the car to over-boost.

Not sure what the OP's friends setup is and this may or may not help, but what are the advantages/ disadvantages of putting a turbo on a manual vs an automatic? I see a lot of people using turbos on autos and Superchargers on manuals.

Yea I was pretty upset about it, when we turned her over for the first time the injectors were already shot, before I even got to to anything with the car, I was pretty pissed about that cause 60 pound injectors aint cheap.. and yea like I said sooo far my wastegate is good, I have a nice big OBX BOV and love it... but my MAF has been giving issue with the turbo wont lie, but I bought a msd map sensor for it to tune it separately.. wasn't expense, but yea my kit wasn't 100% perfect to install... but I never seen many projects of any sort ever go fully as planned so overall I cant complain... as long as the turbo doesn't go next year when she gets truly pushed, im good lol

Kyle no shit I had no idea that's what you were rockin brotha. Yeah I mean if you run it in its stock form and you're only looking for the 400rwhp then you really don't need to replace anything.. But when your building the engine and shooting for 700+ then obviously I can see upgrading shit. But yeah I'm beginning to think he should run the on3. Only time will tell how they perform

Auto's will generally build boost quick and quite a bit of it ,depending on stall converter. They will also keep boost up between shifts. Turbo automatics are downright nasty.

Holding boost through a shift makes the auto worth it over a manual.

WOT shifting is a time bomb for your trans unless you have a WOT box.

I'm digging this idea myself now. Shit buy it cheap from lmr.. Get the k member and fuel upgrades.. and your only a few hundred more than a centri. Not a bad option if I decide to go fi eventually.
Kyle definitely keep me posted on your opinions of the kit. Your a guy that knows his shit. Wonder if they sell the pipe for the bullitt? I'm not changing my intake manifold. Love the top end freight train mode with it

I'll be watching this. Maybe it will decide which way I go. I'm leaning towards a Procharger simply because I'm not giving up my manual, but if this turns out well, I may have to reconsider.
And let me know if you have to cut the inner fender to fit the pipe. The guy I bought my 95 from was setting it up for turbo and he had to enlarge a hole in the fender for the piping. That may be the deciding factor as well.

Nah I'm good. My car is semi-rare so I want to be able to put it back to stock in the future.
The 95 on the other had... Already has the opening... Soooo looks like she'll be getting the kit.
