I was just wondering what turbo kits you guys would go with and WHY? I personally don't know what kit I'm going to go with (leaning to STS, but would like something a little more conventional, I want the car to hit mid to high 11's, which is about high 10's at sea level, at 5280 ft' after a motor rebuild), so, what do you guys think?

 

I was planning on the PTK kit. Turbolocity's kit looks good but I haven't seen any #'s yet and it's a little more pricey than I want....but you pay for what you get.

There are a few other companies looking to do turbo kits for our cars as well.

But in the end I'm going with a custom kit which will be made to my liking and within my budget.

 

as far as off the shelf turbo Kit's i feel Pro Turbo Kit's has 1 of the flat out best setup's going.l'm not sold on the rear mounted turbo idea,and Turbolocity hasnt done much yet.

 

For off-the-shelf, PTK.

 

I went PTK, awesome setup, and will be a great daily driven system.

whats the latest update on yours?

 

I'm also going w/ a custom kit by Jordon Musser because i didn't see a "kit" that i liked. it is gonna be just a little more expensive but like GhostZ said, you get what you pay for. if you haven't looked at Jordon's setup, you should check it out. he's also been extremely good about getting back to every one of my questions (and there's been alot). he even advised me of a group purchase on intercoolers that i was about to miss out on. Jordon!

 

I've seen his setup and it's very nice and is still definitely an option. But my buddy is a turbo freak who has a daily driven low 10 second POS Honda that he built up and definitely knows his way around a turbo setup.

And so I'll be getting a good deal out of it and have someone who I know, trust and lives in my same town help me with the work.

Jordan definitely is the man and if for some reason my friend is unable to help me out with my setup, Jordan will be the one I turn to.

 

got_hp, ptk is making me new and bigger headers to try. Larger crossover and the headers will have EGT probes on all the primaries. Should be here by beginning of next week.

He is right I love the kit, just get the car back on the road. I destoryed the tranny, broke things that they never saw broken before. Power you got to love it!

 

STS turbo. why? off the shelf kit, affordable, complete, ease of installation and uninstallation, easily achieve my goals of 500+rwhp.

 

Do you own a N/A car?

 

once youve owned a turbo you dont want a NA car!

 

Nope, its been about 2 years...lol. Oh and the sig is outdated now...now have bigger turbos on a few of them

Actually, 93formula, it depends on the turbo car most have no low end torque, but a turbo V8 you have the best of both worlds! Anyway, my vote is the STS because it is affordable, easily gets 500+ rwhp on the turbo that comes with the kit and I know a guy who can do some work on the turbo and get me another 50+ hp if I want. The only thing that sucks is that it doesn't come with an intercooler! I don't know if this would work, but I was thinking of using the Typhoon air-water intercooler. It would bolt up to the throttle body and I think with the way the STS is set up work very well.
