Default Preferred Turbo kit?

I plan on turboing my SC300 eventually and was wondering whats the entry level, you could say starter turbo kit for me. I want to start off with a decent amount of power 300-350 HP range and then go from there. Also im new to the SC scene so im open to advice and all opinions!

A lot of people are going to tell you to use that search button man. Easiest way is driftmotion or piece a kit together yourself.

Depends on present + future goals and how much bread you want to spend. If your HP goal is under 400hp. You can just grab a BWs300 61mm or 62mm, ebay manifold, aristo ecu, and some 440cc and have a simple 350whp car. Not counting on other small things needed. Gotta do your homework, many routes to choose from to make power.

yeah after long hours of looking through old and new threads i think the driftmotion kit is probably the best for the under 2k price range. Also i heard mixed results with the turbos they send you, would you recommend buying one of the kits that dont come with a turbo?

alright thanks, do you think any turbo manifold for our cars on ebay would work?

The CXRacing manifold is incredible for the price. I used to have a Driftmotion manifold. The CXRacing manifold fits MUCH better.
