It cost close to 10k to do a turbo on the s2000 if you pay someone to do the work and tune. Closer to 7k to do it yourself and prof tune. I think the SC for the most part is a better way to go with a smaller pully. It is more reliable and you don't need to change as much stuff FYI. I did two turbo kits when I had my car. If I were to do it over again I would do the SOS CS which was not out when I did my car or for a turbo kit the ptuning kit.

I built my kit piece by piece and had a shop finish installing/fabricating my setup. I'm running the PFAB topmount manifold w/ GT35R. I will have to say that I'm with Revenge... it's great to have the turbo kit now and I can say that all the little "kinks" are worked out but it was a headache until now. With tuning, misc pars and labor it was definitely around 10k and the SC is without a doubt the cheaper route. I wouldn't change it now but if I were to go back in time, I would probably go the SC route because from what I hear... it's much easier to deal with. Once again, that's just what I've heard and now that all the small little issues are worked out, I wouldn't change it.

My initial plan is/was Hondata/Benson sleeves/GT30r. But homie way above me told me to research when I have been looking at boost and reading about it on here for 2 years now. I know a GREAT kit is at least a 10k investment. Cause you have to lower the comperession ratio, do the sleeves, tune, boost, suspension and also in the future strengthen the tranny. I was just curious cause I NEVER heard of that specific T3 boost mentioned above. I was only familiar with gt30 and gt35s. Thank you guys very much. I have the CR shocks and springs, and have the 00 sway bars on my car. Now it's time to save for the ECU, then buy the boost, then sleeve it. Seriously, thanks guys for really answering my questions. My plan is to go with PFAB kit.

If you had been truly researching and "looking at boost" for 2 years, you wouldn't be asking these questions. But, I'll help you out.

so because I never heard or saw the turbo LISTED on the site it makes me dumb. Wow. Ok. lol. Like I previously said, I only saw gt's listed on PFAB, INline pro, Full race, lovefab........The Videos on their site with the turbos they sold ARE GONE!!!!! so I guess Im stupid for asking a question to the owner. Thanks keyboard warriors.

BTW...this is the reason why newbs dont post on this site and people leave forums. The whole reason to join a forum is to ask and gain knowledge thru research and question, trial and error, experience, but I guess Im stupid for being inquisitve. Wow. Just wow.
