I think Hahn might still sell one, but IIRC they basically just put their name on the kit and didn't actually make it themselves. I know you can still find this exact kit online for way too much $$$.

Hahn revised the oil feed and oil drain on the original Garrett alpha kit. Then they sold it as their kit.
The whole kit is all Garrett made. I have the original Garrett alpha kit. Has the better oil and drain line set ups.
The Hahn kit used their POS quick disconnect oil drain hose to the oil drain plug. And their feed line was tap'd into the side of the water pump housing area.
The Garrett kit used the factory boss location on the back of the block for the oil drain (I had to drill a massively large hole in my block lol. Seemed so scary at first but it actually drains right into the motor above the pan). So it is higher than the drain plug. Also the feed line is in the back of motor by the header. Used an oil galley plug.
IMO the alpha oil setup is way better. I have had my kit for like 4.5 yrs now and not 1 problem.
Sorry That was kind of a rant just throwing out the info. The Zzp kit is so much cheaper and is just as top notch quality.
