A number of questions have come in with regard to power gains - and Harrop is going to be averaging results and providing a figure. In terms of power gain, it's roughly a 50% gain over stock, which would put this kit on par with the 600/625HP kits out there today. It's great having a substantial torque gain even in the lower RPM's, as most of the centri kits out there aren't making above 6PSI until 7,000 RPM. This makes the kit much more fun and responsive in daily driving, and negates the need to run up to redline all the time. This kit gives you full boost in the mid 3,000 RPM range as compared to roughly 2 or 3 PSI as provided by the Centri kits available.
In addition there are some other features not possible with any centri
Fitment is as good as, if not better than OE with the stock air box retained and no need to find an alternate location for the pod filter

The design and placement of the intercooler radiator does not cover the oil cooler
With a previous centri I found "walk mode" impossible and very low speed driving jerky, the Harrop kit handles all driving modes like stock until you are making power.
