Ok, so im looking at 3 different kits, and i cant decide at all on what to get... in the long run the HP goal is more of something i will decide once i decide on the kit.. because i can use internals and a tune to get more power if i decide to. Heres my view and likes... (2002 s2k)

-Science of Speed Supercharger for 2002 S2000.
Complete kit, easy to install, comes with everything i need to plug and play to get it to a tuner. Also has an aftercooler and independent oil system for the turbo, sounds great to me (options). Also, it looks great! lol

-Mase Turbo Kit
Complete kit, easy(ish) to install, comes with a decent tune on an AEM EMS. Fits great in the engine, i love the setup and the fact that it keeps a good setup of the stock oil location, ETC.

-Inline Pro Stage 2
I talked to a guy and got a kit i can purchase, basicaly same things included in the mase kit, only without the tune, and a few 100$ cheaper. But i have to relocate some things, but still its a nice kit...

I like turbos, but SC is nice aswell, plus the complete powerband gain of a SC is nice. So either option is fine by me. I am looking for reliability and DECENT gains, not godspeed to my rear axles... i have no desire to go balls to the wall in a tiny car like my s2k. MAX of 400HP is where id stop. Anyone got experience or comments on which of those 3 is the better choice? i cant get ahold of mase for info, SOS is very helpful, and inline pro offered to build me a kit...

 

Cant go wrong with SOS SC at all. Great support, great price and great kit in a high performing reliable package that fits in the car great.

That's allot of "great's"

 

Personaly, I would suggest that you goe witht he SOS with the upgraded heat exchanger or the PTunning kit based on what you have said.

 

Mase. Ive daily'd mine on 100 degree days with no problems. Great power and incredible customer service

 

SOS all the way!!!

If you reallywant a turbo I would go with the Ptuning kit over the others any day... If 400-450 is good enough find an inline pro stage 1 kit like DSDDCD's that is for sale. His is almost brand new and is perfect. (it's what I run)

 

i absolutely love both the mase and the SOS fittings and reviews, but i can get a rediculously good deal on the stage 2 from inline pro, just cant decide... i was going to get the SOS with all the options on the stage 1 kit. ima call em tomorrow for info, but what all is different between stage 1 and stage 2? and is it plug and play or plug and drive to tune?

Also, i know most of the mase info, as ive loved it since getting my s2k last year, and i have sent numerous emails and called a few times... never a reply... that leads me away from it...

 

All of the Inline Pro stuff is very nice and the STG II will make good power but it is a tuner kit just keep that in mind. If this is your first major build and you want a sidewinder the Mase kit will be the ticket.

 

yea lol, i got a turbo'd GSR (1999). That was fun... i built my own kit for it. I wanna get my s2k kit... i love the mase kit, as ive said, but cant get ahold of em n all that... but i like the SOS SC because of how it sits, and the look of it, plus the fact that it dosent have the heat issues a turbo does.... but im still doing research, and waiting on some people to tell me a bit more about their own experiences and such

 

Mase, u will end up spending more to make the inline pro work, and its way overkill for your goals

Mase is a complete kit

 

SOSed for over a year. No issues at all. Easy to install - bolt it on and forget it until you hammer the throttle.

The SOS SC route will give you the least problems/headaches from what I've observed in multiple threads here.

I'm hitting the 400whp mark (Dynojet). I'll likely do the 1200 upgrade at some point, but I'm happy where I'm at.

If I did turbo I'd likely do MASE, but I don't have any personal experiences with it.
