ok I have read through most of those pages. I am still a little torn because it sounds like Greddy would add some nice low end torque and good power. While a s/c kicks in later but easier to deal with.

Can someone post each kit, the cost, and what else I would need to buy to make the kit reliable?

 

Go with the S/C. I personally feel the comparatively linear build up of power is better for drivetrain components and traction than the instant power that turbos can provide. In the end thats what you want for a reliable street application. Check the Kraftwerks kit along with the CTSC and others.

 

Do you have a link to where I can buy the kits at the cheapest price? Also what else do I need. I want to know what I have to spend to install it right the first time, installing everything that is really needed.

Also it will not be a DD, it will just be a fun/weekend toy. But all of that time will be on the street.

 

Also basicly all of the stock are putting it around 300 whp?

 

Go Greddy. But like others have said, you need gauges and at least a decent tune to start with. The Greddy kit does come with engine management (emanage ultimate with a basemap that is not the best). You will later want to add at least a 70mm exhaust and HFC. If you go test pipe and 70mm exhaust then the turbo may creep on you (boost goes above where you have it set at).
My Greddy is a blast to drive and i think it does have better low end torques than the comptech/vortech s/c.
Kraftwerks makes a great s/c, but they don't make a comlete kit for anything but model years 06+.

The Greddy kit is not hard to install youreself. I have never installed a turbo and I did mine by myself.

Good luck!

 

How much do you want to make and How much do you want to spend

 

I would like to spend no more than around $6500 or so for everything I need, give or take a few hundred.

I am not looking to make HUGE power, but want it to be decently quick and fun to drive. But also tame at the same time.

 

inline pro kit would work for u

 

Id go with the basic InlinePro kit. Very reliable kit, not super expensive. Well worth the extra few bucks over the greddy kit. Comparing the IP kit to greddy is like comparing apples to oranges. Not even close to the same level.

IP kit is also better because WHEN yes, WHEN you want more power you can easily upgrade it for little money such as add a headgasket and turn the boost up and retune. Where as with a greddy kit you would need to change out a lot more then just that. You need to replace much more expensive things to support higher HP. I say when because you will always want a little more.

Go with the InlinePro kit. you wont be disappointed.
