Right way? Are you kidding me? Ive been faster with flipped shorties, ebay intercooler,and a junk Diesel turbo than you ever will. I wouldn't buy shit from that o3performance shit. PM Turbostang and ask him a price to build the kit I just described, I think you will find its a lot more affordable than you think.

i just always assumed brooks was expensive because of how good of quality work people have said he does.

Cheap ain't good, and good ain't cheap.

They have a few issues, needing a brace for the turbos mainly. You definitly have to get all the pipes started together before you tighten anything and it can be a bitch using the stock manifolds like they do. But I will say for the money, it is not a bad kit. I'm getting ready to install one on a friends 5.1 stroker 03 GT with BBK shorties, an upgraded 76mm ball bearing turbo, complete fuel system and a TKO600. I have had the kit in my hands so I know what it's like, not just talking. If you don't have all the supporting hardware like the suspension and fuel upgrades, it's still gonna get expensive quick. Oh yeah, and they have new kits with forward facing headers instead of the factory manifolds or shorties.

I've seen the name a lot on Turbomustangs.com, but not first hand knowledge. I'd look on there for reviews.

Worst thing about on3 is Chad's shitty ass customer service, oh and the chinese kits he sells. They may not break. But if they do your fucked and Chads going to go out of his way not to help/lose any money.

I have fixed 4 or 5, maybe 6 of those kits in one form or fashion. I can gaurantee that 3 of them were from fitment issues...as in, they didn't fit right out of the box and the crossover had to be modified.

Eventually, ANY mild steel kit will rot from the inside out.. but the On3 kits are supposed to be stainless - yet they rust.

I've seen or read of them cracking in about 20 different threads I can think of.

It doesn't matter (at that level) what you do to the kit, within reason, they will make decent power - it's just a matter of how long the headers and hot side will last. Power levels have very LITTLE to do with longevity of the hot side.

FITMENT is the most important part. If you have to pull, tug, or pry the headers, or hot side prior to heat cycling - it's going to crack sooner or later.

I have a on3performance kit on my 86 Coupe. Just the base kit nothing added. Kit fits nice and made real good power. For the money you cant beat it.

Short list of mods on the 86 Coupe:
Dart iron heads
306
42lb injectors
255 pump
Comp cam 2037
TCI c4
On3performance 70mm base kit
28" slicks
4.10's
Car made 466rwhp and 556rwtq on 9psi.

We have since installed on3performance kits on:
09 GT car made 427rwhp and 412rwtq on 6psi
02 4valve swapped GT ( should be tuned today )

Check the reviews, majority of them are bad. The main issue is that on3 and Chad are relatively new so nobody has really had their kits lng enough to show the true reliability (even though kits are reported to crack and be ill fitting from the begining.) The main issue is that Chad the owner is a lying douchebag, proven multiple times on turbomustangs.com / theturboforums.com, shit he was even banned from that site. TTF.com being the largest turbo mustang website afaik banned on3, lolol.

Go with someone like Brian from B&G, ponydown or Brooks on here. Great work and will offer some customer service if anything goes wrong.



Ps: Chad is a douche bag!
