Default Easiest turbo kit for install?

Been out of the s2k game for a few years now. I had a turbo 2003 using the inline pro mini-me setup and made 437whp.

Sold the car and went the porsche 911 turbo side. Now I'm back!

Bought a minty 2007 with 9000miles. I was planning on getting an SOS blower kit, but I think I may miss the speed of a turbo car.

Are there any kits out there not that are making 450whp on pump gas and stock motor AND I don't have to mess around with relocating my battery and fuse holder and losing AC and stuff?

Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for a complete kit that basically bolts on, fuel pump, clutch, flash pro it and I'm done.

Ptuning, Science of Speed, Trackforged or inline pro log won't require relocating (there may be others that I can't think of right now). You'll have trouble hitting 450 on pump with the inline pro and SOS though.

The full race kit efr only makes you relocate your AC lines.

Ptuning is good kit, but no way is it an easy kit to install. Installing the turbo right the first time is a two man job. Tight room under the car to work in to mount wastegate and dumptube.

That is true. I've helped my friend mess with his just about every time he's needed to do something but I feel that is due to the re routed dumptube. An open dump would eliminate most of the need for a second person. I did find a way to make the turbo stay in place while the clamp is being tightened using the handle of a hammer

the easiest installs are the front facing kits, but almost all require moving the fusebox and batt, or at least some shielding

I think the track forged would be best for him. Easy to install and no relocation needed.

The only kits/manifolds out there that will make 450whp on straight pump 91/93 octane fuel with absolutely no relocations of anything would only be the ptuning kit and the track forged front facing kit. I have the track forged kit and my brother had the ptunning kit. The track forged kit is way easyer to install since it's a front mount turbo. The ptunning kit is a real pain in the ass to mount and get the turbo on.

Other kits like the greddy, SOS, and most log manifold kits also do not require any relocation of things but will not make 450whp on pump gas due to Inefficent manifold design or in greddy's case an Inefficent turbo that's way to small.

I'd take moving my battery and A/C lines in trade for being able to get my entire kit off in under 30 mins any day of the week. Some of the kits listed above are FAR from "easy" to work on.
