Default DRAG or PEAK BOOST

ive been deciding for a while now between the 2, ive cancled out greddy already. i need more advice. never went turbo before so im seeking long term reliability and i wanna see some good numbers on the dyno and something good for a noob like me so i can ease into the turbo transition, so what would you guys suggest/prefer?

would any of you suggest greddy or any other good kits?

thanks in advance

For very littl emore real money, you can grab a peak boost or full race kit man and be out of the league of either of those two you listed.

That being said, I have no experience with the Robear but I have been around my share of drag kits in the past. The kit itself is decent but needs good engine managment to work to it's potential. It's a good started kit though.

Then that will explain why I have never heard of a robear kit.

Then peakboost it is man, although the drag kit is a good entry level kit, it's not even in the same ballpark as peak boost.

Hell I don't even think it's the same sport.

revhard stage 2
drag
peakboost
fullrice
all are proven to work great for street cars. some cost CONSIDERABLY more than others...but, they come with somewhat better parts.

a revhard or drag will get you boosted and a quick/easy 300whp with proper fuel/engine management.

the new drag kits are crap for how expensive they are, either piece together a setup or go with full-race, peak boost.

by the time you fix all of the little problems with the drag kit you will be in the price range of a sorted turbo kit, period.

Listen to everyone, don't go with a drag kit...
Go with quality the first time :-)

Also, don't forget about fuel management.

piece together a kit of go with the peakboost, much better parts rather than entry level. the same reason u dont want the greddy kit go for the drag kit. both will work, but the others are more capable, and u can choose more of your own parts

depends on how much power he wants to make also.

i'm looking for about 300 and i know i can do that with the motor i got and a Drag kit.

you can get a used drag kit for like 1500 bux if you look


sure, there are other kits that are better, but some cost a lot more. you need to know how much he wants to spend too to help him decide on a kit.
