Default Greddys for sale lately?

I have notice in the last few weeks there have been a wave of greddy twin turbo kits for sale for really good prices from 3900-5000 with intercoolers and extras does anyone know why? It is good for me because im looking for a turbo kit and i have a 06 and the greddy is suppose to be one of the kits that fit.

because 600whp just isn't enough. Everyone knows 800-900whp is a much better option on the street when facing those cobras and vettes

and we all know you're only worth what your whp is

JWT is the way to go, and it does fit on the 06's.

The only reason I would consider upgrading to the APS extreme TT over the Greddy TT is if I had 15-20k to put into the motor and drivetrain, which I don't. The Greddy kit has external wastegates and can flow enough air for 700+whp.

I thought we agreed that all kits were good as long as they get a good tune.. I am not sure what has everyone jumping on the JWT Bandwaggon... but i really don't see why its superior to all the other kits out there..

JWT does have a fantastic reputation for quality. But, between the APS Extreme kit and the JWT TT, there should be no comparison because they are aimed at a totally different audience with totally different goals.

i am also not sure why everyone is selling their Greddy Kits for APS... Greddy makes bigger turbo's than 18G ... if someone wanted more hp than 800hp.. they could always have Greddy do modifications to support 20G turbo's..

ow well.. we all know APS is King.. lets all run out and buy APS..

........

sidebar: I don't think Dell Computers are the best computers on the market, however i do know Dell has the best customer service of all the retail computer manufactuers.. personally i build my own computers.. but i suggest when people ask to buy Dell..

if you understand what i am saying.. then you will know why i will never buy an APS product... i don't care if APS had a magic kit that made me run 1000 hp on a stock block... if i can't get good customer service.. you have lost my business..

I like JWT, TN, PE and Greddy.. you can reach out and touch someone when you need too..

TN especially since they have employees on the board

yes i know.. Jim has been dedicated to Nissans forever.. for that fact.. i would definately buy his product.. i guess in that sense i would say everyone to buy his turbo kit, however.. i wouldn't go as far as to say its the best performance wise.. maybe up there with Customer Service with Turbonetics.. but i wouldn't say its the best kit on the market.

He made a comment pertaining to APS so I think he was refering to APS ST. I know they didnt like my car. After riding in Noah's car this morning I would agree that the JWT has a very usable horsepower powerband. VRT has made huge power with this little turbos so we shall see.

ya, the jwt kit is a very well matched street kit that will still make great power when asked to. i was surprised to see the torque #'s coming from the kit and fast spool rates.

they still never said WHY they don't like the aps st kit. if installed and tuned right, this kit makes comparable numbers to the 'other' st kit. if you wanna compare the aps st to the tt kits out there, that's dum. there's a reason that a tt is a tt and a st is a st. not trying to flame and it really doesnt matter, i just wanted to hear from them why this kit is sooooo inferior.

I agree that VRT has made big power with JWT's TT, but I believe there BIG power cars have 530BB Garrett turbochargers.

Never said its inferior, Peter's an *******. If they had any type of customer service in the states their business would triple. Hell I am going TT and APS would have to pull Tiffany Cufflinks out of their asses for me to buy anything from them again. APS TT makes more sence for me to buy then anything but I dont wanna go down that road again.
