the people that i know that have had it or still have it like it. I have the BEGI and i love it cause it is an easy install and it was only 600 for me. But the hiboost is a really good kit.

i ordered a hiboost fmic a few weeks ago and its now sitting on my table waiting to be installed. the ic and pipes look amazing. the welds are clean. the ic and pipes were wrapped and packaged very well. juan even stuffed peanuts inside the greddy bov package to keep it from getting banged up. juan is sometimes hard to get ahold of but he is always friendly and helpful.

it's awsome kit if you stay low boost.
it's not ideal for anything big.

Man do yourself a favor and order it through juan i think its sales@hiboost.com. and get it without the HKS bpv for 800$ or with Greddy Type S for 980.
I have the hiboost fmic w/type S full vent heres what my car sounds like

the hks bpv is the same ole turkey sound and you absolutely cant vent it.
But yes I LOVE the kit. I got crazy gains on highboost and topend.. that and just a catless midpipe took a Full second off my times at the track and added 8mph. you gotta love that.

It's great!!! I think I'm the only one with a boost sciences bpv setup and the hiboost though. I don't mind the turkey, and the car runs great.

It's a nice kit I have it but if you plan to get a turbo and internals go for the MAM kit.

you were probably supposed to get ahold of the protegegarage.com people first.

so if i wanna boost like 14-15psi i shouidnt go with the hiboost kit? i want good performance for sure, i just liked the way the hiboost kit looked..plus its a reasonably priced kit..but if i wanna go above 10 i shouldnt go hiboost or is that a bogus statement?
wicked

ummmm,I hope you have forged internals if your going to that boost,and a hell of a lot more.
but sure you could use this kit,but I don't think it's the ideal kit for it.the core is a bit small,and the passenger endtank is definatly not ideal for flow,but I don't have acual data to say if the endtank actually interfears with flow,or not.

Totally agree, because my car overheat twice on track last week, so I start look into a radiator upgrade. But Hiboost pipe will be in the way of the new radiator. So here is what I did: flash your radiator twice, then change the mix to 75% water + 25% cooler + 1 bottle of water wetter( redline). This will lower the temperature about 10-15%. My car feels great now, but I dont know how will it do on the track. Will have to wait and find out.
