the greddy kit is not upgradable as of yet.
however, there are a few lunatics around here that are working on changing that.
oh, and yea, 5k for a greddy kit is dumb. then again, i haven't found anybody that's paid that much for one.

i spent around 4 grand for my 300 whp. but that included an aem ems uego with a 50 trim turbonetics setup.........i had room to grow 
i ALMOST bought the kit..............but i realized emmissions wasnt an issue.... so i turned left on 50 trim street.

My good man, i MADE a 12.2 pass. been faster now. just dont advertise anymore. the turbo buzz has worn off. working on a 10 sec pass now. 
we will get you up there soon. dont take things so personally.
the reason i hate the greddy kit is the price. 5K better mean more than 300 WHP. i think you could have gotten much more for the same price. but thats neither here nor there. if i could rewind the 30K i have spent on mods on my S i would be in a Z06 turbo LOL no harm done man

if your really worrying about reliability just go pick up the Kraftwerks supercharger for ap1s when it comes out (within a month or two). You'll put down close to 360 whp and 240 trq. install it and than no more worries. hopefully
