Lightbulb a TALL task...need everyones input

Ok here we go....Is there or could there be, perhaps with this post if enough respond a "sticky" with the pros and cons comparing each Turbo kit???? Is there one? This would just save so much time from searching and believe me I have been searching

I'm no turbo guru, so heres the task at hand:

Write a comparison up between all the popular kits i.e...Greddy TT, Turbonetics, APS ST & TT, PE TT, JWT TT and if you feel like it throw in some not so heard about ones.

Please if you have experience with any of these kits respond.

There are seperate threads on each one you just have to look. Just get the APS TT and be done with it.

Haha remember going FI COSTS ALOT OF $$$$$$ if you want it done the right way, and sooner or later the piece of **** vq rods and pistons will go.

Do it right the first time
Shortblock build
EMS
Turbo kit
Exhaust

Maybe I didn't make it clear or something lol...im talking about the kits themselves...a comparison of the good and bad of the kits...

I know FI is expensive...i'm not quite sure how we got off track here lol but the kits are what im looking for in the comparison...not engine builds, and all that goes with that...hope this doesn't come off me being a d!ck but hopefully that cleared some stuff up

Thanks,
Russ

every kit is good I'd say except the ATI procharger which has a tendency of popping motors with ease.

some people have issues with the vortech, but i think those are more from install than product.

The best bang for the buck comes from the TN Tuner kit. Get the tuner kit, UTEC, MAP sensor, 440/550 injectors, return fuel system, and you will have a well designed and powerful car. Push the horespower til you reach what is tolerable to you on the stock block. 450 I would say is my personal limit on stock internals. That with a tune will cost about $9000 including install and tuning.

They are quoting crank 450 hp. 450crank is about 385 at the wheels.
