how much are you willing to spend, Richdawg?
My boost has ended up nearing 10k.
You could get the greddy turbo kit, and tuning session for under $3500 - if you can install the kit yourself.
For less, You could also just get NOS and tuning for under $1500

Yeah, with fuel management the current high end kits (SFR, and PTP turbo kits) will be $6K+ just for the kits with the fuel management units. After install, gauges, gauge pods, etc you are probably getting closer to the $10K area. The Greddy kit will cost about $3K, another $500 in other equipment, install and you are looking at around $5K for about 240-250 whp. If you want more hp you can get other fuel management.
Depends, if you are looking to spend $8K-$10K eventually anyways I would say save up for the big turbo kits. If you are looking to spend $5K-$6K in total then the Greddy will probably be a better choice.

More like over 300 whp and the ability to go even higher then that. THe greddy kit is pretty maxed out a 300whp and there isnt much options to put bigger turbos in the space that its located. The PTP/SFR kits both have their turbos located upfront and have alot of room to to upgrade and put much larger turbos on. the greddy kit is the cheaper option but really caps out around 300whp while the PTP/SFR kits are only starting at 350/320whp respectively.

$5K = Greddy kit + install, + tuning + misc. equipment = 240-250 whp
$6K-$7K = Greddy kit + upgraded fuel management (+upgraded turbo)+ install, + tuning + misc. equipment = 300-325 whp
$9K-$10K = PTP/SFR unit + install + tuning + misc. eqipment = 325 whp+ (PTP I expect to be 350 whp+).
The 2nd option of getting get an upgraded fuel management unit & upgraded turbo for the Greddy kit, but by then you are looking at almost the price of the other high end kits. Might as well start with a T4/GT35R kit to begin with. Just depends on how much you are willing to spend. Like in life, you have to pay to play.
The Greddy kit, is what it is, an inexpensive turbo kit. Show me another kit that will give you 60-80 whp for $3K.

but the check has been in the mail for ptp and sfr for way way to long.....
i mean someone could have stepped up and got a management system that works and then sold a tunner kit...
did not happen.... lots of lame excusess like we could not get a new o2 sensor...
the proof is in the pudding..... so far no one has made a turn key fi soloution....
