i was thinking the same thing... the silicone part on my aem hit EVERYTHING when i was putting it in...

I'm more interested in Treadstone's turbo manifold because it would be much cheaper to go with ZZP's intercooler along with their CP's (hot&cold) and plus their BOV and still come out strong for almost the same price at $800, unless you want to spend a couple hundred more to go Treadstone's intercooler kit.

the only thing that would be different for an LSJ kit is the cold side piping .. so depending on if they sell a tuner kit you could just do that

treadstone will not sell just the intercooler or just the charge pipes... they say that they dont want to sell just the charge pipes cuz they dont want people using shitty intecoolers with their parts... and same with the intercooler....

yea makes sense, but i will still end up missing the rest of the parts to fully complete a turbo kit. they would have to come up with the tune, the turbo, the downpipe, intake mani, cold side piping. I hope they do come up with all of these later on... it gives us more options, specially if they can beat Hanh stg 5 prices

it'll bolt up for sure, just need to find a different way to tune thats all. i can't see why the 2.4 kit wouldn't go on the LSJ. Manis are swappable across all the models.

ZZP's charge piping with a BOV flange is $500 and their Intercooler is $300. Treadstone's small intercooler kit is only $740, so it's actually cheaper.

We'll have a package out with our charge piping and the IC. Should be a competitve option to the treadstone.

I really do like the different products being offered but still looks like their exhaust manifold is a little overpriced.

Actually the synapse one is a tubular manifold NOT log style like this one.
