Are they still around. Haven't heard their name in a while. From what I've heard, NSport bought the kit design from Bell Engineering, which designed the first known turbo kit. This kit had been featured in a magazine article (it was posted on one of the 240 sites many years ago, but I don't know if it still exists anywhere) in the early 90's. IIRC, it may have been CARB legal at the time or pending it (but no longer is). The kit design is solid. The manifold is the Revhard manifold which has some minor flaws that can lead to big failures of the manifold, but can be altered to be more reliable with a drill, a dremel and a saw.
The only thing I tend to question is their claim at the time that they modify the turbo for better flow. Few turbo mods will actually increase the performance of a turbo. But other than that, it will perform similarly to the XS Engineering kit as they use very similar design. 230 WHP out of the box is pretty typical.
