No disrespect to KB racing, but I've seen a mix of things come out of that place.
The manifolds are schedule 40 pipe, which is fine for strength but lacks the elegance of stainless for a turbo manifold. They came a long way from where the used to be, but I still get a "diy" vibe on some of the parts quality.

That being said; if it works, it works. I'd be interested to hear if any high-hp guys are running this. Is there a negative side effect from having 4 cylinders push air 3ft to the turbo, wherease the other 4 push the air 4 inches to the turbo.
