Wouldn't touch it. Every other kit they make is complete junk. Cheapest chinese junk possible. Every corner cut, poor fitting, high failure rate, no customer service.

Something about a turbo kit that is gonna be in the mid $4k range doesn't ring the bell as far as quality is concerned... You usually get what you pay for.

We have two Mustang guys in my area with On3 kits. Both required modification and some creative thinking to get them to work.

EDIT: It looks like the kit will come with 3" downpipes, ball bearing turbos, and stainless piping. Better quality than what was available before. I'm interested to see how they do.

I'm just about done installing the ON3 twin turbo on my 2011 mustang. It definitely has some fitment issues in a couple areas that make the install very time consuming. The manifolds and piping are solid. The waste gates work-but how long?. The turbo's are rebadged M/P turbo's, so they should be ok.. I would imagine they're using similar parts on the C6 kit.

Untouched kit:

Definitely will report any problems. However, like I said the manifolds are nice and thick with decent welds, and the rest of the hot piping is fine.
I do know a lot of coyote owners are switching from the centri superchargers to this kit and other turbo kits because of the lack of torque with the centri.

Funny about this thread but it has crossed my mind going back to a coyote and throw a twin turbo set up. I've seen nothing but great times on turbo coyotes. Heck check Justin aka juiced who used to have a C6 running mid 10s N/A and 9s with a shot of nitrous, and went back mustangs and was running high 8s on his street stang and now running low 8s @171

If this was two years ago I would agree 100% with you. Now I have two friends that have used them and they were nothing but great. I know thats only two kits but they beat them for over two years and they were both nothing but perfect. I think they have really improved on the QQ of their kits.

only problem with On3 now is the name, it has an ebay 2008 SSautochrome vibe.
