The point is you're clearly missing out on sales and the efficiency of your company is horrible. But what do I know right?

Nailing the proper fitment on a kit like this, for sale to the general public for installation in their garage, is no easy feat.
They also have other business to contend with.
I'd say it is worth the wait.

^thanks...
I built one-off forced induction systems for a decade...the guy who fabbed this must've had a real blast...lol. I started doing sch10 mani's back in 2002...there's a ton of work in just building a mani and collector. The fact is though, proper penetration and backpurging is absolutely necessary for longevity, especially in such a compact, high heat environment. I hope these are all continually built here, not outsourced. Intercooler/exhaust piping is one thing, but the mani's have to be done right or they'll fail.

Absolutely! We stand behind everything and all piping in this will come with a LIFETIME warranty 
have a great weekend all! We are dressing the Lsx today to drop in! 7475s should be here end of next week I hope. We have some new cold side ready to test fit next week as well. We will be offering up a few intro offers to some customers that can showcase the kit well. shooting for June 1 on those to get a few kits out as long as this cold side works out how we are expecting it should.

Being more familiar with the manifold design then most.. ... there was a stupid amount of time spent in primary routing. Jon wanted to offer something that doesn't require cutting up the frame or car, packages turbos bigger than anyone else is offering with full T4 setup, and maintain gravity drain. It would be almost impossible for someone to understand how difficult that packaging is until after doing it. Negotiating wastegate plumbing of that size directly off of collector at manifolds was actually one of the more difficult pieces of the whole setup. Hell, look at the fitment difficulties people have with T3's on the ttix kit, and those turbos are tiny. And don't forget about number one service item on boosted cars, spark plugs, and maintaining easy access.
I made my intake pipes on my current setup, 16ga 6061 4" in two evenings. So what. That's apples to oranges compared to jig updates and preparing for production level fitment in someone's car not being built directly on.
Jon and his team are doing a very good job of covering every piece they can before anything is released. They would take a lot more backlash if they released something not ready.

We are looking for one person for a partial Huron speed twin turbo kit sponsorship. We no longer do full sponsorships for many reasons, however I have (1) offer to extend that is a partial sponsorship on our new c5 twin kit. If interested please follow the following steps.
1.) email me direct at: jon@huronspeed.com
2.) send a few photos of your car in current form
3.) send a basic mods list for your car
4.) send us info on your mechanical ability and/or who would be doing the installation
5.) how would you be able to help assist in promoting our new kit more than other potential candidates?
6.) how much power are you looking to make NOW with this kit? I.e.: not xxxx when I build the engine and fuel system in 6 months. What can you make now. FYI we are not just looking for someone to make bonkers numbers, we are covering that aspect with our build so stock engine numbers are just fine!
Be informed we will take all messages into consideration, we may not reply to your message unless further info is needed. We will extend an email out with details if you are of interest in the next week or 2.
