Go with Ptuning or Mase kit. Or you can buy my SOS kit so I can go with Ptuning.

Some of my subjective opinions, after having built an inlinepro turbokit s2000, aswell as my own turbokit on another s2k:

Regardless what kit you go for, keep in mind that a stock motor s2000 under 500whp will last you better than anything above. And its not a linear curve. Some would say that its all in the tune etc etc, but the fact is that even with a perfect tune, margins are getting thin when passing 2x the design power of the engine and powertrain.

I have had 0 engine/drivetrain problems with my turbo s2000's and the recent one were last year at ~420whp. It will be tuned down slightly now that i've gotten rid of the boostcreep at high rpm. 400whp is really alot in this car.

I often read that once you go boost you will want more, which I do not understand. I have never found myself in those thoughts. I guess I am thinking of reliability aswell.
And I do not have to compare dicks at the road.

Good luck with your build, I am sure you will get a great car with your budget to do everything right the first time.

ssfbrian - Just a small thing, but it's 'ptuning' not 'ptunning'.

Yes...The dual exhaust is strongly being considered by Toan... Ask me how i know
second that, if enough people are interested(you can include me on that list, dual all the way) .... I was able to visit Ptuning and of all the turbo kits out for the S2K I would strongly recommend them. One reason is how clean and organized the shop is. Two is how knowledgable all the personnel are. Three there willingness to help and answer all questions. Four there kit has had much thought put into it. Five you'll easily attain the power goals you are looking for on there kit. Six no cutting, welding, trimming, moving parts around, or any modification has to be done to put this kit on.

The only reason im even considering sc/ is because of its plug and play ability. Ive always been a turbo guy, just never did a custom/ aftermarket set up. My car is my daily driver i dont wanna have fix things every other day either. Is your car DD?
Any type of FI isnt plug and play lol...Always some small headache involved there hehe..
Ive never personally driven a SC S2k, but from what ive read on here, and have seen they are very reliable.

Personal thought...........Turbo Baby
If you have that much cash to throw down on this, i would piece the set together. I would even go forged bottom end, and just make it a screamer

Oops ptuning! Haha...


-thriceover
u also have to add the fact that it looks insanly good under the hood!

-redlines2k10
the main reasons i wanna stay under 400whp is to Not have to do a bunch of botton end mods.
I also wanna keep my car driveable! Ive had/driven some really fast cars and trust me when i say 400hp is more than enough! Esp on a 2800lb car

CC stage 4, I am not too fond of it tho. It does the job but is a handful to drive.
Its probably possible to get away with something abit milder at ~ 400whp.
