how about..

What are you're power goals?

Are you daily driving your car?

How much are you really willing to spend?

I've had 2 godspeed kits, a buddy of mine has a godspeed kit installed by Ptuning.

Ptuning said the kit is easier to install, and has way more potential than the greddy kit.

I've installed the Godspeed kit both times on my car. i put down 330whp on the DynoDynamics dyno with that kit.

Sure they sell it on ebay, but they also sell it at their own store. if i took a mase kit or inline pro kit and sold it on ebay, does it make it junk? no.

If you are going turbo, I would suggest waiting and getting what you want rather than compromising and constantly upgrading you will be soooooo much happier in the end. In addition I would also not rule out a supercharger? If you have warranty to contend with slap on an SOS or Vortech and call it a day. They are not much cheaper or easier to take on and off but they have many advantages for a driver.

Let us know your goals and usage and I am sure you will get an ear full.

Here are a few pieces of advice that will lead you to success

1.) Have patients - If you don't you will make many decisions you will regret

2.) Keep it Simple Stupid - Easier Said than done

3.) Get together with local FI guys that have been around for a while. From what I can see after a few years most of the FI guys know what will work and what wont b/c we tried just about everything.

Good Luck

Ebay is just a selling point is not a manufacturer..Do search in ebay for deals but stay away of the cheap Chinese imitation turbos. If buying Chinese kit do replace the turbo unit with a garret or precision, waste gate and BOV with original units.

I would spend a bit more and do mase or inline. The godspped kit seems OK and Alan has some good luck with it.

My power goals are not looking to go too high no more than 375whp out of this kit anyways... I am in college so I have to spend and do what i can now....I do DD my car so i am just looking for some boost to enjoy.... Im sure once i get a real job make a good amount of money ill be investing and the real deal but until know this is what i can do
I auto x and tend to take long trips sometimes so thats my only concern I know FI can cause problems

if you are going to go turbo. spend between 4500(used) and 8k(new) and get a kit that will be at least somewhat reliable and powerful. otherwise, dont waste your time with cheap crap. turbo setups on these cars have a hell of a life as it is. youre just begging for trouble with a cheap kit.
