The AP650 turbos are superior: GT ball bearing cartridges, T3 turbine housing, external wastegates, unlimited upgradeability. The EVOMS are simpler to install but if you are installing headers anyway the point is moot.

kcphuah- pm me and I will give you a special setup. Also we have no maf issues. Evo had issues as it is known from their intakes in the past. To my knowledge proto k24/18g "650" kit uses stock maf with no issues. They change to a ford maf for the 700 kit. If you want to see some customer responses search "agency power 650".

To show the difference of our kit I will do a back to back dyno with dr torres car if he wants to volunteer. Same dyno, same boost, same fuel, same temp.

I am rendering NO opinion about what kit is "better", but much applause for willing to go head to head with another kit. We could use more shoot-out type events around here.

Thanks for the support Seal.

Unvmym3 - it was close to 530 on 91. That is in All Wheel Drive and on our Mustang Dyno. There is an AWD Dyno Jet i am going to try to make an appointment to run on to show comparison for numbers.

Kcphuah - Pming you now.

You offer great products and excellent customer support! Now what are you going to offer for us big boys with 800 plus hp? I am looking for full CF roof? Lighter doors etc...
Still entertaining the suspension upgrades?

1.3 or 1.4 bar I think.

Thanks Rob! I can get you CF doors, hood, trunk with GT2 wing no problem. Just got to bust out that check Chris never used! For the power goes, my kit as you know can be used with GT3076 or GT35R. There are several on this forum that have done this. We just dont have it as a "kit". let me know on the suspension stuff when you can.

Other weight stuff, lets get you some 18" TE37 wheels that are color matched with a black lip stripe!!!

James does have small hands but it's a partial drop if that makes sense

jrgatfh has a spectacular aura aboutjrgatfh has a spectacular aura about
I'm sure both kits would be great but just some food for thought, as far as customer service goes. EVOMS IS THE WORST!!! Everytime I've called (over 5 times) I can never speak to anyone no one ever calls me back and you get the feeling your money is not good enough for them. Quite possibly the worst customer service I've seen especially when you have such a small market. On the other hand I've never bought anything from Dan at vivid racing and even though some people critisize them for coming up with new ways of tuning these cars (even though I think this is good), everytime I've had a question Dan himself or one of his guys have gotten back to me very quickly, and even though I've never bought anything from him I really appreciate that and if and when I do need somehting I'd defintely pick Vivid over EVOMS

Thanks for the support Justin. I usually have my IPhone on with Email and get the forum emails to I try to stay on top of the 6speed family. Not because I have to but I want to. As a 996TT owner, I really enjoy supporting the people with product. I dont know everything, but I do my best.
