I am curious if anyone is familiar with the turbos that on3 performance sells with their kits. I know they offer both a GT30 and GT35 but what I am not sure of, is if they are designed in house or outsourced. They appear to be Garrett unit's but with their own cast vband housings but I am no expert.

The manifold is ~$2500. Same range as other N54 manifolds. Single scroll and you can add a Precise turbo with Tile bovs which gives the perception of a "deal".
Guys are really sensitive/defensive about any critical discussion regarding manifold. Hopefully that won't prevent any real feedback and review info from them on how it holds up.

Oh, I didn't realize they were charging so much for their manifold. So I guess its just all the other components which are cheaper?

Basically. To be honest the manifold looks like a train wreck and they likely have a higher profit margin then the name brand.

Interesting. Well in that light I guess someone needs to make a cheap log manifold for those on a budget.
