If you want a "kit" than SRT Is top dog. Only problem is their customer service is absolute crap This is why They are no longer allowed on my.is. They also take months and don't answer phone calls after you order a kit, yes they have caller id.
The other good option is to piece your **** together, but that all depends on what you're looking to do. If you want 400 horsepower or less you may get away with no engine work. I pieced mine together I'm just finishing up now

I was looking into doing that but im from hawaii and the shipping from individual places to me is crazy. I would end up spending over 1500 on the parts im looking at. Thanks for the info. Do you know if someone could pick up the kit from srt shop? Maby that would b better. I dont know.

I think they put them together when you order it. I'm sure that's what takes so long

kit seems alot easier to deal with, sometimes piecing one together gets costly and requires more time and fab

I don't know if you looked into xs power kits its pretty good priced and there are a few folks on my.is that got the kit to work. I am thinking of getting mine there once I have enough funds.

go with SRT. I bought a stage 3 turbo kit for my is300 plus the 3" full exhaust. Hevnt installed mine yet, and with the time and work schedule that I am having I am thinking about selling them, brand new kit. Let me know if you might be interested in this. Purchased it back in Nov 2011

Waited for almost 3 months for them to get the kit ready for me.

I love my Turbonetics kit. Ill be selling it soon for a bigger project. I upgraded everything on it with EMU, 700cc injectors, plug N play harness and piping. Ill be selling it for $3k with exhaust. Great for up to 500hp even though I never got to see it because of a stupid motor issue. Kit has less than 2k miles on it. Previous owner spun out in the rain, I havnt had it on for long, havnt even driven with it.
