it is a nice kit. why not just take a drive down to SD and go see it in person at SFR? Turbotim on this forum is the owner.

Any scavenge pump can have an issue.I have had the same one as Ernie on my car for 3 years and ovver 25k miles,no leaks,no isses.There is more to the story also with another one bites the dust.the car left here with a specific amount of miles and when it was returned to him,there were 50 unaccounted miles and the car was supposedly on a transport!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros:

1) SFR turbo kit is modular, lots of different Turbos & BOV options.

2) Turbos that come with kit can be used in a stock block for low boost but are powerful enough for built engines as well.

3) SFR Plenum is crazy looking if you decide to upgrade to that. =)

4) Great intercooler

5) Manufacturer is local to SoCal


Cons - Only to be fair, I consider these minor issues.

1) Installation is slightly more expensive at SFR, but I hear Tim is a perfectionist.

2) There is a lil bit of boost lag

i like tims work. he takes a lot of pride in his work and it shows. hes tuned my car twice with great outcomes each time. Im mostly a do it myself kind of guy when it comes to engine work, but i wouldnt sweat taking my car to SFR. and if i could, i'd get rid of my greddy tt kit for a SFR kit any day. anyone wanna swap a SFR kit for a greddy TT?
