Re: Greddy turbo kit is it worth it??? (litterbox)
id assume a d series b/c of the turbo size
the numbers all depend on how much boost you are pushing and your fuel setup (and obviously any engine work)

$1100 is slightly high. Around $900-1000 would be a little more reasonable, although I did get around $1200 when I sold my kit.
As for gains? Well, figure 5psi will net you around 170hp approximately. I ran the Z6 kit on my Y8 with the hack setup and was dyno tuned at 7psi. However, the HKS MBC I was using was ******* leaking and sticking, so I was only able to put down 179 flywheel hp and 175 lb-ft of torque. Not horrible, but the damn boost controller was broken to hell. HKS said it was perfectly fine, though, when my shop sent it to them for inspection.

You put down 179 FLYWHEEL horsepower? If so, that sucks.

Yeah, the boost controller was acting up pretty badly. The day I was dynoed, I made a thread in the FI forum to complain about my numbers.
