Default Interesting... just pulled the trigger on a PES manifold on ebay

Seller's name as indicated by paypal is Anthony Ricci... as in President of PES Tony Ricci. Wonder what is up with him selling manifolds and SC kits on the bay. I saw a tuned TT for sale by the same seller and a post a couple months ago about a delay in a G4 S/C kit due to personel changes at PES. Hope all is well at PES.

Default I think a 2871 is enough

flow capable of ~400 maximum hp... quick to spool and internally wastegated. I'm sure I'm leaving a huge safety margin given that I'm goign to be using forged pistons and rods. I'd be very contented if I never need to have my car towed back home from watkins glen which is a good long ways from home... and also the place I seem to visit with the most frequency.

Yeah, I emailed Tony about if he would be putting up any T28 kits up, or if I could just buy one at the same discount, he responded with "call, and we'll talk about it."

I'm in Arizona, and I've purchased almost all my upgrades from Evolution Motorsports. According to them, PES is out of business, or going out of business. PES apparently owes EvoMS like $25K, PES owes many of their other associates more money.

Just my two cents...

I believe they are focusing on the Porsche market these days.
