Is the Hypermax Turbo System any good?

It's a well proven system. A little cheaper than the others. It uses a dual exhaust approach (they call it a 'pulse' system). It runs two separate pipes around the bellhousing and up to the turbo. I installed 4 of them before I discovered ATS. The only downside to them is the pipes have 'slip fit' ball sockets where they lead into the turbo mount casting. They tend to leak exhaust after years of use. The ones I put on ran 10 1/2 to 11 pounds of boost and had good power.

Ha! No, they were all on different trucks. The first 4 turbo jobs I did. After that they were all ATS's cause they were so much easier to install. I've lost count how many old Fords I turbo'd over the years. I'm guessing around 30. I haven't put any on for a couple years now, everybody around here has moved up to newer trucks that already have turbos.
