if building in house is too expensive and/or time consuming, why not outsource it to China, you have great designs for the parts, put it in digital form, and get a few samples from different China Manufacturers. if quality is acceptable, then you can automate this business with much reduced time invested making these parts and reduced costs.

You want him to give TacoTaco a new design to knock off?

Just in the sake of admiring Krakens work and hopefully keeping the doors open:








fit and finish is incredible, lots of clearance, all the welds are top notch

I really can’t speak highly enough, very happy customer

Unfortunately, the cross flow radiator is a no go at the moment, they arrived but they are like 9kg and don't feel comfortable with that weight, really bummed me out tbh. Will give it another go soon

Are there any comparisons between the GTX2860r 2 vs efr 6258? Thanks !
Not much in the way of comparisons at the moment

Also, there is a pretty nice promo video on youtube for FMIC.eu... just saying.
They are aftermarket turbos probably made in Taiwan but balanced in Germany. They are all out of turbos currently with quite a long wait time like everyone else

Question, does the 3" low-mount work with OEM power-steering?
Yes it fits and two kits are available

This isn't an option for me, rather close down

Deposit sent.
Price went up to $3100 but still reasonable.
I'm eagerly waiting for the kit.
Wish I'd bought it on the first go around...

I just placed an order for the full exhaust. I can't hardly wait. To me it is worth the wait, even with overseas shipping. My car is down anyway doing a motor build.
If the muffler is the only thing holding it back for supplies, cut me a discount and send it without the muffler. I can source it locally and weld on the v-bands myself since MagnaFlow is easy for me to find here in the USA.

Thank you in advance to Kraken. I'm happy to have come across the thread. I probably would have held off to order had I not seen your thoughts of closing up shop. This is more of an incentive for me to help you keep the doors open!

I couldn't be happier with my kit. made 220whp/200 tq on 10psi on a gt2560r on my na8. Car spools quick, and the exhaust sounds amazing. Car sees a lot of track time, and I have yet to have any issues. I would buy again.

So is the kit on page 1 now $3100? Shame about the radiator.

I had the same issue but I was able to select an option to go back to "Lines & Fittings". I was on a laptop so maybe try running the page in "Desktop mode"?

Kraken... it may sound not doable or crazy, but think about this... I got a 24 month offer @ 0 interest from Paypal... So long as I buy something from Ebay. Any chance you could put a kit on Ebay, and charge me like $100 or so extra for the trouble? I may pay even more. Let me know at your earliest convenience, the kit looks AMAZING!

NVM. Offer expited yesterday. No worries, hopefully by summer I'll buy your kit... Even if I have to become a part time gigolo!
PS2: Posted a link to your site on the "other" Miata forum. A little extra marketing shouldn't hurt!
