Why is it not that simple? The guy is looking for a single front mount turbo kit.

There are a wide range of front mount kits engineered to reach different goals. Will 550RW on the stock SB always be enough, or will you be looking for 150 or so more on a built SB down the road... Or possibly planning bigger than that...

Is there a BrandX that fits everyone's goal that I missed?

i agree what you are sayin. my goal is to have a built motor by the time i get the turbo. my question is does someone make a full kit, turbo and all, intercooler as well.

It isn't that simple unless the guy just doesn't care, in which case FI wouldn't be for him.

What are you goals? Power estimate? Et/Mph in the 1/4 estimate? You could be fine with T60ish turbo or if you plan on expanding a t76. If you want to get a bigger/forged motor in the future go with an 80 series or a 42.

Another thing to consider is do you want to keep your AC or not. That right there may eliminate some kits.

The well priced kits all have one major drawback or another. Both exaust banks go through 1 log style manifold, or they have a pipe going under the kmember, or you loose a/c. The higher priced kits seem toget around all this. I beleive the hi-flow setup gets around all the problems but your looking at a very long wait on that kit. I just said screw it and got a D1SC and im very happy, very simple packaging, capable of 750RWHP and you can get the kit in a week and a half for a screaming good deal from exotic performance plus, a vendor on here.

Boy oh boy, I suggest you do some serious deep soul searching before you jump into FI. First of all, which is the most important....find out exactly WHAT YOU WANT to do with your car, set a hp goal, do some research, find out what turbo kit/set-up others are running, what kind of power are they making, do you want a race car and run w/ the big boys or just a stupid fast street car? Save yourself some time, money and headaches by going after exactly WHAT YOU want and not with what others want w/ your car. (although you'll still invest some time, money & headaches)........good luck!

There are a lot of nice kits out there but the TTi race kit had everything that I wanted. You loose the AC but that's a small price to pay for a good time on the street and the track.
