    Well its just like anything else and has been said already, You get what ya pay for. I know Denny has installed 1 or 2 and what he has said. Id still buy one but upgrade to the Master Power. For the price you couldn`t buy anything else to make that kind of power unless it was a used supercharger or another turbo kit.

    Kudos to the guy who makes a street monster with the least money invested, knowledge and motivation are a powerful tool...bleh to the guy who rolls in to the speed shop, swipes his credit card based on what the expert says and rolls out bragging about his numbers.

    on3 isn't hiding anything, they're selling a comprehensive kit for a jaw dropping price. If you wanted to take the time to figure out what the hell you're doing you can have a 450rwhp foxbody, with decent car included for $5,000. This kit just made FI that much more accessible to the fox body world. I sure as hell don't have 6,000 to spend on a turbo kit and wouldn't period...on the other hand $1800-2000 really starts to look like a bargain.

    I wouldn't say that at all. You do get what you pay for and then some. Its $4000 cheaper than a single turbo kit from Hellion, $4500 cheaper than a twin kit from HP, and at least $2500 cheaper than the cheapest new blower kit. If you want top notch quality be prepared to pay for it and in the case of HP you had also better be prepared to wait. I have heard of guys waiting 6 months or more for a turbo kit from them. Just don't expect top notch stuff for a third of the price.

    I have the kit on my 02 GT. Seems ok, I am just going to redo some of the piping though. I know that the Pony Down kit uses the stock K-member for the sn-95's. I am not sure about the rest. The kits all also use mild steel.

    The on3 kits are good but there are some of the piping should be fitted a little better. I am currently getting my car converted to an auto and am in the process of cutting fitting some flex pieces in to the piping. It's definately worth the money in the long run.
