Hi guys. I've been reading this forum for a while but never introduced myself, have a lot of good info on here but one thing I haven't noticed is no one has spoke about the TOP mount ISR kit. I know there's a bottom mount T2 kit from ISR that has been spoken about but they now have a T3 top mount with either a RSX3067,RSX3576, OR a RSX3582. Could I have some input on this kit and if anyone has run it with the full kit. I have my own blow off valve, and waste-gate, but tell me what you guys think of it I'll put the link in so you guys see exactly what I'm seeing.

FYI: this is my first time turbo-ing a car. I have a list of mods, I need to respectfully push no more than 10lbs of boost. My KA is completely stock besides exhaust, motor only has 133,000 miles on it. It's a '96 with a Kouki conversion all the way through. Also, this will be a "daily" so is 10lbs okay to push or should I start as 8lbs?

if this isn't the right spot to create this please transfer to where it belongs. Thank you for reading, eager on the feedback :)

ISR is very much the entry level china parts option.
While the isr manifold will work somewhat ok they do not fit great, the manifold fabrication is not very good/poor quality welds with lack of proper back purging. The turbos are straight china garrett copies, i would not recommend using them.
If you are looking to turbo your KA24 and have a reliable setup that you can enjoy trouble free for years of boosting fun i highly recommend using higher quality parts such as the KA24 turbo manifold from Future Fab, a matching Garrett or Precision turbo and a Tial MVR wastegate.

I've personally owned a KA-t for 20 years now and they are super fun/reliable engines even with boost when the right parts are used. ***Even if you are boosting a stock block KA***

PS. I just noticed the original link was to Aceup, while i'm not a fan of using ISR parts Aceup and the owner of Aceup are top notch.
