Default help me decide which turbo kit

i have LS automatic, goal is to hit low 15s maybe even high 14s, don't want to boost past 6.5psi. I've been considering about the SOCH greddy kit because money is an issue to me but, i can spend somewhere around 1800. I have heard the greddy makes full boost at 2500rpm. Would that be a concern since i do drive on the fwy alot and therefore i'll be under full boost for...50+miles every so often. or is there another kit you recomend. greddy LS kit is nice but it boost at 7.5 stock and i think that would be too much for the tranny to hold.

I know it isnt what you asked for, but I think your money would be better spent selling the LS and buying a GSR. Assuming you really want a Teg

my sister has a GS-R, and i can take it anytime i want, see as the LS and GSR is almost same parts, i was thinking if i really don't like the turbo auto LS(not quick enough for me), then i can swap out the turbo to the GSR, make new charge pipes and downpipe, and etc...TTT

if that's the case, then I suggest you take the GSR before she changes her mind

no her mind won't change, she does not care. but if i take her car she's probably gonna sell it and get an BMW X5. damn no one answered my question still. I have heard the greddy makes full boost at 2500rpm. Would that be a concern since i do drive on the fwy alot and therefore i'll be under full boost for...50+miles every so often.

Yea I think it was blufke and rjardy that convinced me to ditch the kit idea and piece one together. Thanks guys...Hopefully this saves me some money. If not I'll be hitting you guys up for a loan.

the maxrev groupbuy seems too tempting to pass up.
