Which brand turbo kit do you think has better quality,reliability,looks,and performance?
Any feedback about this would be appreciated.

 

greddy if you want more reliable. but the f-max is better in my opinion. i'm sure others will agree.

 

F-MAX and GReddy are both excellent kits, i went with the GReddy over the F-MAX for the reliability, but then again, my engine is built..... plus, i kinda like the internal wastegate design a little better for some reason...... less **** to deal with i guess... it's all up to you, both kits have their ups and downs, i think i have compared the GReddy, F-MAX, and DRAG kits in a previous post, you can probably search for it..... it's like 12:30 AM here and i'm to tired to think about them right now

 

f-max

all the way

great people

before i turbocharged my car i spent a good 12 months reading about it every day. with greddy, a lot of it's cost is just for the greddy name. now, mind you, im not talking about the whole kits. but considering that greddy is too "greedy" to part out their kits, i had trouble building a custom setup with their parts to begin with. i still think their metal used for the manifold is a little sketchy... last i checked, they wouldnt release the quality used. no FMIC included with the greddy kit, iffy fuel management etc. thats not to say that f-max's is any better, but at least f-max will part out kits, leave off peices, etc....

my setup is similar to quaalude and blackomega's

actually its exactly like blackomega's.

250hp to the wheels with an f-max manifold, downpipe, and the intercooler and all parts that come with it. all guaranteed for at least a year. i have no doubt in my mind that if one of their parts broke after that warranty period, they would still replace it, or whatever.

f-max is just good people. plain and simple.

 

you can make more power with an external wastegate.

 

it all depends on how you have it setup

do tell

 

ya im curious.....

 

not sure exactly how he ment it.. but the easiest example is if you just install either one of them and drive around VS installing the other one and actually having it tuned. The tuned one will be extremely more reliable

 

Lets, not forget that with Greddy you also pay for the CARB certification. And it is possible to make more power out of the Greddy kit, all you have to do is weld the internal WG shut and stick an external WG on there, and pray the smog tech doesnt notice it.

 

you can make just as much power with an internal wastegate... it just can't be the puny 7lb wastegate the GReddy kit comes with, you'll have to upgrade it to like a 14lb gate

 

FMAX I think they have better piping bends and a better trim for the T3/T4. Just my opinion.
