which turbo to use
whats up guys, ive done a lot of looking around and really i just straight up dont know what turbo kit to get, the greddy ive been told doesnt really have enough airflow, but thats just what ive been told, soooo i figured why not ask all you guys and whatever the most popular kit is ill just pick that one, esmeril i didnt really like to much because of the whole battery and movin **** all over thing, really im between greddy and sfr if the whole greddy rumor that ive been told isnt true then itd make it a better contender let me know guys thanks.

I would not like having to premix all the time and I still believe the OMP is a useful device in keeping the apex seals cool.
I wish it did a better job at cooling the corner seals.
Moving the battery to the trunk is simple, probably the simplest thing to do on a turbo build.
Turblown has a pretty good rep around here.
What is it you didn't like .. Don't like the Top Mount design?

BTW I'm running a top mount T04e-60
I'm running well at 11 psi, think I've exhausted the spring on my WG
Going to try and get to 15 psi with a different boost signal setup
The lag is pretty huge below 4000 rpm but once your over 4500 rpm it spools pretty quick

Yes, the one i have spent a lot of time discussing with Turblown in the past.
Low mount, tubular manifold and turblown's quality. Turbo kit aren't rocket science, it's just that most manufacturers are less than trained monkeys while Elliott isn't.
That's why we're installing his kit on a fd3s in the following weeks. lol.

Building a turbo kit for whatever car requires the same skills: welding and a little engineering.
Turbo choice may be different for a renesis because of the different exhaust pulsation but that's marginal as turbos\impellers\whatever can be changed out fairly easily to better suit one's needs.
As long as it's a low mount built with quality products and a tubular manifold it's ok. MAF friendly is a plus if one prefers an AP over a standalone. -> Turblown's kit is the only one that fullfills this criteria.
