Looking for some opinions of the Greddy Turbo kit 08 AP2. Pros/Cons?

 

If you are looking for around 280-300 whp it's a great kit, but it has a small turbo so if you are looking for a lot more than that you may want to consider something else.

It's well put together, spools fast, and seems fairly reliable based on the people I know who have it.

I have the Ultimate Racing Turbo kit so that's all I can offer.

 

I'd pass, but thats just me.

 

You would pass on the Greddy kit!

 

I used to have one, super reliable great for low-end grunt, but it sucked to have a "turbo S2000" and lose to C6's

 

That's all the HP from that kit. Better off getting a KW kit.

 

I bought a greddy kit because I wanted around 300 at the wheels and I wanted to retain all the reliabilty I could and I thought greddy is the way to go. I bought a used kit without emanage and I bought Aem ems 1052u. I won't be able to comment til January 27th when I take it to get tuned at T1

 

Its fun having a greddy kit, but i would only recomend if u can get a used kit for cheap. otherwise I would say to get something that has a little more room to upgrade...

 

manifold sucks and tiny turbo. but for a great kit inline pro

 

it's a great kit as long as you know yourself. It gets a bad wrap from those who are disappointed from the kit's power output and want to blame greddy. But there is plenty of information out there showing how much power it puts out and greddy doesn't claim otherwise. So there is no one to blame but yourself if the power is not what you want. It's all about doing the research before you buy.

Truth is, many people are power hungry and want more more more. Yet somehow they don't know this before they buy? I knew 300whp was more than enough when i had the kit, which is why i was perfectly happy with it.
The power output is the biggest thing people worry about when buying this kit, so figure out how much power you want and go from there.



Now to answer your question more specifically. the 06+ kit is very easy to install (especially b/c you don't have to do the fuel pump) and if you don't want to use the Ultimate, you have Kpro as an option. Plus it's STILL the only carb legal turbo kit for all years 00-09 available...if that matters to you.
