Are Drag III kits that bad?

i've heard that drag kits aren't all that their cut out to be. but i've also heard that they kick ass... Whats the real story? do they suck or do some people expect too much..

TIA

I think MarkC can answer this one.... http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

I have heard the same thing. MarkC and the crew here like it, and they are a trusted source. The shop I was going to have install it only said bad things, poor quality, missing parts, bad fitment, etc. But I figure the shop is trying to sell me a custom kit. I would certainly trust MarkC, and the others before a shop, they can provide you with all the info you need.

well, the drag2 manifold was prone to cracking but the drag3 is a really nice unit. cheapest price and it has the essentials and in my opinion the other kits available are all pretty similar except for little things. my opinion, if you don't have a trust worthy shop then get the drag3 kit. 260-280 to the wheels isn't too bad and i'll let mark finish the rest

encino man: whaz UP!--hey turbo sucka...i wouldn't trust that P.O.S. delta wastegate that comes wid that turbo heap setup...boost creep'n on yo azz=ka-BOOM ta yo f--k'n engine...might wants ta swap that bullshitz outty wid a TIAL or HKS. what shop is sell'n ya this crap and how much, foo? mann, i think twice bout have those monkey f--ks install that shitz too!

peace.

I've got one and I think you get what you pay for. Make sure you upgrade to either a TIAL or HKS wastegate tho. The kit should come complete w/ just about everything you need, but if you are missing something I don't think it would be too major. Probably something you could pick up at the hardware store...

I'm with Ron. You get what you pay for.

I guess the deltagate is like the JR FPR of the DRAG kit. And just as the Cartech FMU is, it is a $200 fix to get the TiAL bolt-on.

I didn't have any missing parts or fitment problems with my install. The oil return materials DRAG gives you is not very great. That was my latest project. I replaced the whole line with stainless hose and Earl's fitting. THAT was an expensive endeavor.

Ummm... what else.... ? Sometime you have to notch the webbing of the block to fit the compressor housing, depending on the housing that you get. For GSR's you have to replace the radiator fan (again, depending on the physical housing size).

The components are decent. The power increase is ungodly. The value is incredible. And the potential is almost endless. I am happy. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
