I believe Maxmojo is running this kit, and I believe it only runs off of one bank.

One bank, huh? And what kind of power could you possibly make only using 3 cylinders? How does he route his exhaust? Sorry for all the questions, I had just never heard about this.

But still...it's running off only 1.5L. Although I suppose it eliminates SOME of the complications of turboing a Max...And I suppose if your boost were pretty low, you COULD run a T25 pretty decently..

maybe, but for that price you could buy a nice /c set up =/ but i wonder myself how taht set up does. there has to be some sorta power gain. Also what the max psi to run off that thing

If you were running off the full engine maybe...but not when you're running off (practically) a 1.5L inline-3 (To get an idea of what I'm talking about, PLEASE read above)
