Default Opinions on Greddy Turbo Kits

I have been looking at a kit for a great price, All Greddy, even the intercooler. I am running stock internals, The car has 90,000 miles on it and runs great. Great Compression, No smoke. Minor Bolt on and 55 shot of nitrous. What can I expect from a greddy kit over keeping the nitrous. I also have but have yet to install a new high flow cat and greddy tic catback. Is it worth it or will it be comparable to the 55 shot I currently have. I am not looking for a drag car but something that is fairly quick and driveable everyday.

If you're looking at running the turbo instead of the juice, I'd say it'll be more economical in the long run. If tuned right, you should be able to get 55 hp out of a decent turbo kit at about 7-8 PSI. And you won't have to keep filling the bottle.

Any time I start thinking about power needs (wild dreams aside), I always figure that on an engine that makes a buck-twenty five to begin with, a mod such as a turbo goes a LONG way. You can feel 10 to 15 more horses in that engine.

Good luck.

Good point about the economical part. I know edelbrock offers a kit that give you about 180 or so horse power to the wheels... I think. I have always been a fan of greddy however. And here good things about there kits. Since, for now, this is the only car I got it needs to be reliable.
