2) it also uses ATR new collector flange which angles all the exhasut pulses into the the turbine directly on the turbine wheel instead of trying to force them thru a coventional collector assembly as the old design did. the downpipe is technology from the typhoon which keeps the exhaust manifold contiunously pressurized becouse the wastegate dump is not built onto the header like the old design either instead you have more control over wastegate managent beouse your venting directly from the turbine itself
1) Show us flowbench numbers, or something...any proof will do. Help rebuild your credibility...
2) W ... T ... F. - Anytime you try to force exhaust through the turbine housing, rather than venting it a the collector/manifold...you'll lose power. There is no up side...not better spool, not more power, not "keeping the manifold continously pressurized"...why didn't you switch to an internal wastegate? This is NO different.

If I purchased one thing, and recieved another...that is noticable cheaper, and will most likely produce less power...I'd be PISSED.
You can't just switch without telling customers who've already purchased.

And on a similar note: You get what you pay for. Remember this, future KA-T'ers...you want boost, do it right. "Inexpensive" and "cheap" are 2 different things...you want the "cheapest" turbo kit, you'll get stuff like this. You want good reliable power...it's gonna cost a little more.

And thanks, NICO, for changing sponsors...the "don't bad mouth a lousy company b/c they're a sponsor" policy was getting REALLY old.
