The complete package comes with exhaust starting in the $12k area. If you needed new headers for your 525's, why not spend a little more and upgrade?

This is a really cool set-up! Here's a few more pics...

Here are a few more. I think they may be on to something. They are going to recast the housing and integrate the bypass valve from what I understand.

I think it's a cool idea, and I'm sure they'll get it figured out but I think it was a bit premature to release a concept. It's not even a functioning prototype, just some shiny pieces. The exhaust entry into the turbo definitely needs some work IMO. Look at the path the exhaust from the rear cylinders has to take. I do think it's a great idea I just think it was a little premature to be giving HP and cost numbers on something that is untested. As it progresses I would love to see some actual data like IE ratio, boost, egt's, etc. It has a lot of potential and if they can deliver for the estimated price it'll be awesome for someone starting a new build that needs exhaust anyway. I'd like to see one with manifolds too.

I was estimating that it would be at least $22k.........

The last pic in post #3 is not a 525. It has a distributor :)

Does the extra 75 hp in stage two come from more boost or a larger intercooler?
What are the boost levels anyways?

All the pics are of the same engine... I'm confused on the distributor comment?

Eddie,

What is the rough cost of rebuilding a 525 these days and bumping up the horsepower?
