it is really not worth the extra money, at least i dont think so. all it takes is a little research and you can put together a very good and capable turbo kit, not a bungee cord one. dont encourage people to always take the easy way out. that will just cost them more money and plus for some reason people really dont like to do their own research anymore, they just buy "kits" that do everything for them.

piece together your own kit and save yourself some money for other upgrades. if you need help i will be willing to help and im sure others will also.

Well that sounds allright, its just that when I think of home made turbos I think back to this guy I saw once welding cooking pots together to make a manifold and weirdstuff like that

putting a turbo kit together sounds like lots of fun and all that and cheaper but think about it that money that u pay more for a kit is also backed with im not sure if they have manufacturer warrantys or n e thing but if they are u get that much as well as customer service say u get a bad fcu or blue box all u have to do is send it into greddy and they'll fix it. just my 2 cents but peicing on together sounds like fun.

try getting anything out of those bastard big companies. you wont get very far. plus, what better warranty could you ask for when you have the guarantee of your own research? personally i dont trust anything on my car unless ive done my own research on it and found out if i liked it or not. those companies could tell you an exhaust tip adds 50 hp if they want. the question is, who out there is smart enough not to trust them.
