| What are you using for ducts for the HKS intercoolers? You'll love the MSPs, they make the car so lively. They're made from the same material Garrett uses to make their turbine housings, so there's no (real) risk of them failing. Besides the whole fact that AMS copied (poorly) the MSP manifolds, AMS has no quality control (or inspection for that matter) measures in place, and their manifolds are made from mystery metal. There is no engineering done on any of their products. Do you want a critical part of your car to be held together with a part that was, quite literally, originated from China after AMS sent the MSP manifolds there and said "make it like this". There were no technical drawings, no 3D models or design done. I bought MSPs because they're the best product. And now that they're only $695 there is no reason to get the AMS manifolds at "only" a $200 savings. In the whole cost of the turbo upgrade, that's about 5% of the total. Not nothing, but not worth the risk either IMHO.
