Default What turbo kit do you guys prefer? 500 - 600hp

Hi I have a Fully built turbo motor thats waiting for a new turbo kit...

I would like to make 500 - 600hp

I was planning on buying a hytech kit with a liquid to air setup... pretty expensive..

or should i piece together a kit using the lovefab sidewinder v2 manifold and an sc61, and use a fmic?

or should I stick with the good ole inline pro manifold?

I would appreciate some help on which turbo kit would be preferred by some of you ht people! I dont prefer to cut my bumper out for a humongous intercooler hence the liquid to air, but i also want reliability and no bumper cut Does the manifold matter as much as people say or is it all for the bling factor?

thanks

I don't understand people who take the time to post "SEARCH" instead of giving an answer. Basically your covering your *** because YOU don't know the answer. Either post a helpful response or don't post at all...

For your question, I'd sy Full-race. If you did a "SEARCH ***" on full race, you hear nothing but good things. Just remember they don't come with fuel management. I'd suggest Uberdata or Hondata for that.

If you have a built motor, I'd stay away from Drag or Revhard kits. Your motor has more potential then what those kits offer.

Other than Full-race, I'd say Peakboost kits, Sthperformance, those kits are great. Look in the Sponsor forums under Forced Induction to see the prices on those kits.

Good luck.

If you can afford the bling of the Hytech kit, it's incredible. Other than that, I'd go Full-Race or piece together your own.

I'd go with either fullrace, inlinepro or custom. Depends on the funds.

no, its just that the heat exchanger tends to absorb all of the heat from the water with very little of the heat being transferred to the ambient air. if it were me. id wire up a small fan on the heat exhancger and have a temp gauge to monitor the water temp

Not legal for NHRA SFWD.

As for the kit...

Full-Race A/C setup.

Not me.

1. more $
2. more parts
3. more complicated
4. not NHRA SFWD legal
5. a good FMIC will be more than enough the power your looking for
6. not the greatest setup for a street car

Max-rev?!?! you mean a log mani plus a t3/t04e?

First, a t3/t04e ( a new garrett) only supports 480crank hp. how do you expect to get 5 or 600 out of it?

Secondly, at that power level, a log mani becomes very ineffiecient

Awsome...I love it. It gets a full 15psi by 5K. From most people that I've talked too that have the .63 T3 with the stage5 wheel, it's about the same spool up only boost hits harder.

I have the P trim with .58ar.
