The wait is over....
I received a very eagerly awaited package today at work. Now if I only had more vacation time I'd be at home still installing these bad boys.
All new gaskets, studs and adapters, the only thing I didn't get was the modified wrench for the water lines, which I didn't need because I have two of them from taking the turbos off to begin with. Mat had mentioned he might be including one with the kits for any of you that order from him to make install easier (and believe me it does) but I'll let him speak to that.
As I've said, Mat's been great to work with and always available to talk to when needed (except when he's dropping 300lb molds on this toes
) and has gone above and beyond to make things right.
In any case, I will be starting the install this evening....I have a feeling tonight may be a late night.

We have two more spots left before we go into production. PM me if you want on the beta test list.

Good question. The difference between THE56's, our stage 1 turbos and stock are a larger 11 blade 56mm exducer with extended tips and an upgraded thrust, compared to the stock 2013's 51 mm exducer. These turbos can live around 19-22 psi all day, and make power where the stock turbos lose their lungs.
The real truth is that not the difference but the commonality. THE56's retain the standard and reverse rotational blades, and because THE56's are a compressor wheel only upgrade they utilize the stock intake, exhaust and pressure ducting. The fit and finish is as it came from Ford. THE56's use OEM gaskets and hardware, which we include in the kit. The spool time is near stock, which is something I want Strawhat to confirm so it is not just me saying it. These turbos are perfect for a street/tow/track application.
