turbo kits
i know a lot of guys piece theirs together, and some down some parts and praise others. Whats the general consensous on www.turbokits.com with their turbo kit for 4500 and says its direct bolt on. is it or Or how about the kit from www.suprastore.com for the na supras that have install pics on a sc300 for the same price. how about some feed back, for the dreamer with a credit card and an itch.

well for only 1700 isn't bad i guess, but it sure is missing a lot of goodies. fmic bov, and af man just to name a few, but i guess you get what you pay for

the two turbokits you posted are the same...
for 4 grand SHIPPED... the turbonetics kit really isn't that bad of a deal when you think about what it comes with...
it does have a front mount + thicker headgasket... so it's set up right out of the box for daily driving, and with a better fuel system, you could potentially make some pretty decent horsepower

Would the turbonetics kit be a good kit if I'm only looking to make around 325RWHP with stock fuel management?? All I got now is afc and plan on getting a boost controller with a turbo kit? Anyone know roughly how quickly the turbo would spool?

Ask Kevin about this (local guy)
It's best to buy a kit instead of piecing stuff together.
Save 4k
buy the BL kit
Be happy
