seen the kit in person and in pieces......
The kit is very nicely executed! all oil and water lines are hard lines like on the r33GTR, it very well does look 'oem' like. Complete. Very quiet also, depends on exhaust set up. The bov is recirced, sounds like a stock turbo jetta bov "fluttering".

My friend has a VW GTI with a diverter valve instead of a bov and his car still sounds like a bov. Does the JWT kit car make any sound when letting off the throttle? Do the turbos sound loud under spooling?

You could, of course, try their website, and see if that answers the questions; and if that doesn't, you could try the contact info on their website.
But thats just crazy talk....

Lets see, JW has been on the back burner forever, they will tell you the same thing all the time thay are working on carb! Nothing new.
Why do you think everyone has been asking for updates?

Or maybe it's a vast, right wing conspiracy.

it will definatly be interesting to compare the numbers between this JWT and the APS, as both are very reliable kits. I think that will be the break even point for most people's decision's on what kit to get. 350 at the wheels is very nice if you know you engine is feeling as well as you are, but for the more crazy folks like me, makes you want to go up-an-attit with some more parts to throw on. I would also like to know more about this (non-bov) setup. I acutally prefer the sound of the bov to anything else...would be nice if there was an alternative to this situation...

I hate to beat a dead horse, but the kit isnt out yet!!!!!!!! for those that are fortunate enough to get their vehicles to vrt, an argument can be made that the jwt kit is better. but for the 99% of us that don't live near you guys, or can't get cross country to give up our cars long enough to turbocharge it with a 'prototype' system, this system is not practical right now. like i said in an earlier post, i tried to wait for the kit to be released since i heard about it. nearly a year and a half later, they are still dragging their heels. sorry if i sound a little miffed, but the only opinions i heard on the kit come from vrt and axis, both companies that work hand in hand with jwt. i don't have a sponsorship, own or work for a shop, so when i start hearing from normal working folk that the kit has been released and it's all good, i'll be a little skeptical of the greatness of the jwt prototype twin turbo kit.
