HP Turbo setup

So I was looking at that HP turbo setup and it looks nice but I dont know how functional it is. The piping looks strange with the turbo mani being extended to the right of the engine. I dont think it will hold the high boost. Those pipes look thin too, like those ebay intake piping. Anyways, I want to see what everyone else thinks. Could it be promising?

What is the benifets of the exhaust manifold going sideways and then turn down to the turbo? Is it easier for a bigger turbo to fit between the engine and the radiator?

There is no benefit. It makes things worse. I have a T3/t04B and it fits in front. The turbo being that far off is going to cause lag.

Thats what I thought. The exhaust gasses would be cooler by the time they hit the turbo. Not the greatest setup, I would say. Are they a good company?

i actually called them.... and its 2295 till the end of nov. and then goes up to 3400. the exhaust wraps back around to mount up to the stock position. and it comes w/ the battery relocation kit for moving it to the trunk. It takes 21 business days from the day ordered to recieve the kit. comes in 2 boxes you get the battery relocation kit within a week.
the second box is the rest of the kit which is sent to JET for the ceramic coating, and takes about 10 days from the time jet gets it to ship out to you... so takes again about 21 business days. they have dynoed it at 5psi to get the 185 and said they could prob. run on a stock motor 8psi safely but since it wasnt their car they didnt.

I know many of the pro drag setups look like this, but the runners (or each individual exhaust manifold peices) are different lengths. I do not see that as very good. That means that the first cylinders will push out that exhaust faster and hotter and the ending two will do it slower and colder. It could be promising. I have to look into it more, I stand in a puddle with no umbrella. I have nothing really to work off of. Dammit.
