I've been very fortunate with my TT setup. costs have been very minimal.
I have a 15psi pulley but with a 11psi wastegate so my car does not boost over 11psi. The advantage is my max power comes in super early (like 5800rpm). Any higher will just be useless. This setup is really good for backroad and the street as we don't redline randomly on the street and backroad you'd hate to have that crazy spool and sudden rush. It works for my driving style.

Some people hate on the Greddy Kit, saying that they don't make big power.

Mine is the original, which i believe is the 18g Kit.

Whatever I have is the same setup as Alberto, minus the built block.

Over 400 to the wheels on a mild tune, more than enough for my to play on the streets, and at the track, and to drift with.

And I'll always have the option to swap a built block and go big power, which is my long term goal.

Greddy Kits have been selling very cheap from reputable private sellers in the classifieds. When I was looking, they were going for 6k-8k used. Nowadays they are 3-4k, hell even $2500 without a few pieces.

I can't wait to find a vq chassis to build a drift car.

the "un-tunable" HKS however I have tuning resources.

Contemplating Haltech in the future. But I have other priorities at the current time.

I have the UTEC. I really hate it... It does the job but the ride quality is just not up to par. Dave from FT recommended that I ditch the UTEC and go for the Osirus flash and just use that. Stock ECU tune sounds like a win to me! A few other FT's FI customers are actually doing that already and they all love it. I think I'll follow that route when I save up some money this winter.

So he was running a supercharger with STOCK injectors and no tune? How's that even possible? Was he using the chip that comes with the kit?
