Many of them think that American companies are doing quite well with the KA platform and Tomei is a too late to really get people to buy their parts. Opinions?

I have a KA-T that was possible with a ton of knowledge from those guys.
But the culture over there is to build the block, get a top mount manifold, a t3/t4 turbo and call it a day.
Im using an Xcessive top mount setup with a t3/t4 .50 trim turbo, and to tell you the truth i find it boring. Im going bottom mount and I have a GTX2867r that im running, and as far as I know I am the only one on those forums who's going to be running one. I told my buddy who is also a KA-T junky and he said why spend the cash? He would just use a $300 holset turbo and call it a day.
Most are happy with good old'proven tech, and that's fine.
There are a lot of options for top mount manifolds for the KA, but you will not find a twin-scroll-ready manifold outside of the $$$$ full race. And bottom mount options are the DOC race one, or the Ebay-caliber ones like Isis and so on. But a bottom mounted pulse-divided manifold like the Tomei would be awesome.
