    Please Don't buy from them !! Buy a kit from a company that will stand behind there kits.
    They have problems with there kits and they know it ! They don't fix the problems with current kits ! They don't send parts !
    Go on any forum and look up hp you will see .
    If anyone from HP looks at this (yes I'm calling you out) step up or go out of business like all the others

    Nothing new dude. You're not the first nor only person this happened to. But for some odd reason people still buy their kits. :doh: :bow:

    I must agree that there customer service isnt the best and yeah they do lie to you on a regular basis. But i am very happy with my kit. All fit well and most importanly it seems to have good R&D. It took 5mths to get my kit. IMO i think its still the nicest (kit) on the market.

    friend of mine ordered a kit almost 8 to 10 weeks ago and never showed up. and horrible customer service. IMHO i would just go call the credit card or bank and get your money back

    :bang: :huh: i put up with them for a while untill i threatened to stop payment on 9500$ worth of parts , then they got the message that i wasnt playing around , im still having issues with some of the parts i told him i needed my r/s header set up a certain way and what i got was the exact same part that i had already. they blow you off for weeks on end dont buy from them. Make your own kit!!!

    Nothing new on HP, they suck ballz, plain and simple.

    I ordered last July and didnt get everything till this past february.
    Nothing fits, all had to be modded to fit, and the design sucks because the turbo interferes with the A/C lines.
    My car is a 95 cobra. I had to change the mass air and injectors for it to work, the shit they send in their kits is half ass junk.
    The bosch VW BOV they supply sucks to, it wont stay close long enough throughout the powerband, it dumps all the boost out by 4500 rpm. I had to have a custom chip burned to get it to run, the chip is fine with a wide band commander.
    Oh yeah, my car caught fire yesterday twice because power steering fluid is being dumped on the driver side header, any one have any idea why it would do so under boost?

    I had nothing but problems with them when I ordered a kit form them over 4 years ago. I'm suprised they are still in business.

    I have installed two of these kits on fox body mustangs that make plenty of power. I can't see any real big problems with the kit.

    Well I just got done installing mine and like said elsewhere, their cust serv sucks balls,
    the kit was not great but not bad either. i was missing some parts and the instructions they send u on cd rom are from their first gen kits
    there is no paperwork or mention of updated components.
    I really dont like how they want you to support the I/C with one brakett, and they didnt ship the bolts for it.
    I'm sure there is more but i'll come back later. :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang:

    I love mine. I got mine the easy way a guy at my tunners shop ordered it and when it got here he changed his mind and went with a Kenne Bell 2.8 . He sold it to me for 500.00 less than he payed. Like 6200.00 with all the upgrades. Upgraded from 50s to 60s all Jet hot from turbo housing to the axle. nice fit and killer power.

    If you have low mounts you need to run a pump on the turbo drains to stop the smoking, HP for some reason dosen't want to tell you that.

    Sounds like your blowing oil past the seals,maybe to much oil pressure might need to run restrictors or smaller oil feed lines and larger drain lines.
