Hello S2000 community, I am a new s2000 owner and have high hopes for my new baby. She has 36xxx miles and runs like a brand new fresh out of the factory car. I have been researching a lot of turbo kits and several companies, and my first find was the beatifully designed inline pro stage 2 sidewinder turbo it which includes practicly everything that you would need to turn key besides a tune and well a built motor to have some fun. I am also looking at the AFI turbo kit, as well as the Mase kit. I like the sidewinder just because of the ease of access to the turbo and exhaust. Having owned an SRT-4 and dealing with the turbo in the back, the sidewinder would be less added stress and in my opinion a lot cleaner looking.
I guess I'll jump to the point, which turbo kit is the best bang for my buck? Inline pro stage 2 with fuel, and ems, or AFI kit, or Mase?
Thanks
Daniel

 

not Mase if you want the kit anytime soon and don't want to deal with manifold cracking problems.

AFI has been pretty terrible with the way that their kits have fit, from what everyone who has got one on here has said. However, i think they are trying to fix it/have fixed it.

i have the inlinepro stage 2, and think it is overkill for the power that most people want. if the ptuning kit had been out when I went turbo, I would've gotten that.

I bought it used, but with the most updated/beefed up manifold, and have had no problems at all with the kit components.

 

Yeah, sidewinders put the turbo in a convenient place, but many of them seem to crack. That's a lot of weight to support so far away from the manifold studs.

Buy a Ptuning kit and you'll be much happier.

 

:watching: its a toss up for me afi vs full blown twin scroll kits. are both these kits braced at the block? what kind of fitament problems did/does afi have?

 

check out full blown and full race, both have awesome side winders, the inline pro one is very nice too

 

minus my dumptubes breaking off my fullblown has been great.
