The injectors would be sufficient for you. However, if you changed one thing you would have to change another to benefit from it. My advice is just buy each piece one by one. Sounds like you have injectors started, then go emanage, turbo, and so forth. Otherwise you are going to be in the scenario you dont want to be in
Take your time and select each piece with the help of the FI section here on s2ki. There are a lot of knowledgeable guys on the forums, such as Jeff, who have "been there, and done that". In the end you'll have a kit you're proud of with some piece of mind!

^^ Well said..buying a complete kit may be easy, but 9/10 you wont TRULY get exactly what you want..piecing it together yourself does take longer, but you get the knowledge and the satisfaction of doing so..

When I talked to Jeff I told him what I was wanting power wise, around the 300-330 range and something dependable. he told me Greddy Kit and I have been very satisfied with my selection. The biggest option besides that in mind is how deep is your pocket.

Glad to see I helped you choose the right option!


I'm now on my third setup on the s2k, your goal of 400whp is very easy to achieve. Depending on how much money your wanting to spend will let me know if your can safely achieve the goal you are looking for. There is "used" kit's in the classifieds daily that will help you reach the goal you are looking for. Do not buy a log manifold, make sure you get a equal length manifold. Go ahead and buy the injector dynamics 1000cc injectors so fuel is never a problem. Don't buy anything less than the AEM EMS. There is several turbo's that will reach your goal. A 3 inch downpipe would be ideal and is your best bet. Those are some basic's.

My original setup was:

Full-Race Manifold
Full-Race Downpipe
Full-Race Intercooler Piping
Precision 600HP Intercooler
Tial BOV
Tial 44MM Wastegate
GT35R
ID1000's
AEM EMS

Very basic setup that was easily put together.
I netted 415whp@8psi and 12.22@120 on non drag radial tires. Turned it up on race gas and made 543@18psi.


Choice is yours.

I cant give you my personal opinion because I dont want to come off rude. I can give you some advice...Troll the FI forums. soak up some knowledge. Decide without a doubt what way you want to go (supercharge or Turbo) then your power goals. You going back and forth between kits like you are tells me you arent sure.

No one can make the choice for you bro, your gonna spend what you wanna spend and buy what you want in the end. All we can do is give you the insight of what we have encountered or our past experience. No need to be ignorant when someone is only trying to help.
