Anyone have any experience with this turbo kit for the KA24DE? I did a search and found that people had complaints with their manifolds, but other than that, does anyone have any experience with them regarding this kit? It comes with: "SUPER T04E TURBO , STAINLESS MANIFOLD, BOV, 38MM WASTEGATE, SUPER TURBO ACCESSORIES, OIL LINES, and FITTINGS." So I would just need bigger injectors, intercooler and tuning, right? The price is really good so of course the old saying of "if it's to good to be true, than it probably is." But I just wanted to see if anyone had any feedback on this particular kit they sell. I was thinking since everyone says their manifold isn't great, I could just replace it with the Boost Designs manifold or the Greddy manifold, or just get the ssautochrome one reinforced. Thanks in advance for any help.

From what I have heard, their first KA manifolds welds would crack, but since have updated it and the new one is much better.

so if I bought this kit, I would just need bigger injectors(to run more than 5 lbs of boost), intercooler and piping right?

you need to do some more reasurch, try searching this forum and freshalloy. But to answer your questions, yes you will need bigger injectors, a way to control them (safc, rom tune) piping - DP, intake, IC piping (i dont know if it is included) and it is recomended to run an IC. If you look into what other people are running and search around these forums you will have a better ideal of everything that is involved with building a turbo KA. Just keep in mind install costs add up quick ie nuts, bolts, silicone couplers, etc., etc.

My KAT is doing just fine, just tune it properly and start to have fun!
