For a basic setup, and minimal fuss, the APS TT kit is most complete out of the box. For those looking to tinker, or push the envelope, the other kits would be suitable.

Signal T's are a different animal from the TT's in terms of max power output, etc....so you also have to define your budget. The Turbonetics kit is a terrific value.

Mia....$1000's to tune your car?? I think its a bit of an stretch, dont you? We charge between $350 and $600.

It depends on the form of engine management and what has to be done. Typically its $100/hour to tune. Plus the expense of getting your car to the tuner.

True, but the Greddy comes with a very capable eManage, and its just a matter of proper tuning, fuel system...etc. I still maintain that is not "thousands of dollars" to tune the car.

Not for everyone its not. But lets say you have a system and there is no tuner within 1500 miles. The cost to drive there, find lodging, pay for dyno time, and drive home could get up there. But you are right its probably not in the high thousands but for someone in Nebraska it could get pricey...

But the beauty of the eManage is you dont have be an authorized "xyz" tuner in order tune, such as with the Unichip. So any competent tuner can do the deed. Of course, some tuners are better than others.

Thats what I'm getting at...Sure anyone can tune the Emanage but would you trust anyone to do so? I sure wouldn't. When a kit comes with a system that NEEDS to be tuned prior to getting the car on the road you have to find someone who you trust to tune the car. And thats where it can get expensive. But its worth it in the end if that is the type of system you prefer...

Now that is a statement I can agree with.

bah ok kids..... bolt on for your money kit any supercharger would be the way to go.... personally i was looking at Vortech and well i just miss Turbo BOOST! so im going Turbonetics and run some higher boost on it.. think i can get away with 12 safely as long as the car makes little over 400/400 ill be happy on pump gass thats pretty good for a turn key car. just worried about the speed density map that the ecu switches too when running more boost on that kit
