stage one, kept melting his wires, his hoses, his turbo leaked brand new, and the replacement leaks too. Waste gate had a couple issues, down pipe had to be adjusted, waste gate tube isnt long enough and melts stuff too. Also, with bottom mount its a bitch to get to the turbo and stuff when you need to check things and do maintenance.

I don't think it's fair to blame a kit for poor preparation.

Don't hesitate to ask us any more questions!

Just take things slow. Save up or hoard as I do. I have a room in my house that I designated my S2000 hoarding room.

My budget/budget-prediction is around $10-12k in 12 months for a 400whp supercharged set up. I have planed on buying things that support the project.

I went ahead and Chuck Norris'ed my header/cat/exhaust, cooling and drive train as a part of the systems tree. I bought those peices and hoarded them as part of my over all project plan, prior to purchacing any power adder.

My car is bone stock, but the aftermarket parts sit near by, marignating in my hording room. I suggest you first buy a supporting mod you really dont want to install, such as a clutch.

If you are now old and tired of "wrenching" like myself, then use that lazyness to "postpone" wrenching by buying supporting parts and hording.

There will come a time where an old gyser like myself will have to arthridusly (spl? real word?) pick up a wrench and go to town. My clock is ticking, but my project is well prepared.

Ptuning is a GREAT kit, but price wise its layout requires more technical components like the oil system. Dont get me wrong, its a GREAT kit, but their additions drive the price up a bit.

Definately say the Fullblown is a good option, and they are rediculously helpful with any issues you have. They also make or sell EVERYTHING you need to boost your S2K, from fuel, to cooling all with good pricing. And they know their Sh*t, cant recommend them enough.

Looks like the majority opinion is to wait for more money. Sounds like a better idea than messing up my car doing it quick and cheap.
Thanks for all the input,
Joe
