I would just go with a greddy kit. Little more on bottom end lot more torque at the same time obeys all emissions laws. Car still drives like stock when not under pressure. I have one that I am selling because I'm simply looking to upgrade. I made 320whp @ 8700rpm on 10 psi. ( yes rob made much more but his turbo is more bad ass) also 210wtq @ 4200rpm. Good luck with finding what u want

There is one problem with a turbo car. :EMISSIONS:
As of now FL does not have them, yet.

Greddy has the only turbo kit with a CARB sticker.

Superchargers like Comptech and Vortech have CARB stickers. Not sure about the Kraftwerks.

One thing with a turbo kit. TUNERS. You can have five tuners in the room and each one thinks he is a bad ass.

Out of all the tunes I had while living in Tampa, was Scott, who tuned my car the best. Last I heard tunes at S&R.

You have several turbo kits available now. When I got my inline pro kit in 2004, there was Inline, and Ultimat Racing kits only. You have many choices now. Choose what will make you happy.

Chosse a shop that will work with you. If they promise you some type of warranty, take care of yah, or any help when things go wrong; get it in writing. I have had shops tell me they will help me, take care of me. When something goes wrong, they don't.


Best of luck to you in your higher horsepower search.

i have a rear mount kit design (and most of the parts), i have done many of the kits mentioned, except the kraftworks, but it looks like a very thoughtout kit.
if i was today to do a turbo car, for the money vs power vs complete kit in parts Mase engineering has the most complete equal length kit out there, everything you need is in his kit, even a tune on the ems!

LHT if you got the cash. They are expensive but you can be sure you are in good hands.

LHT is really not expensive. look at the cost of a Inline Pro, Ultimate Racing, Mase, Kraftwerks, CT...kits. LHT is on par or cheaper than they are and your goin to get the same quality if not better.

no one can compete with ebay or the like.
