also everyone on here I was looking at talked down on the on3 kits hard to find anyone local to build one unless u got a limitless budget
Most all kits now require a tubular K member to keep the hotside/downpipe above the K member as you cant do it with the factory K. They all have their +/-, but Huron Speed is responsive with good support and has made multiple iterations in an effort to improve their kit as well as holding yearly group purchases to keep the cost low.

It's always a good idea to include some of usual basic info:
intended street vs strip use balance
approx hp or ET goals
do you need AC and/or power steering
budget build vs "grow build" vs I'm rolling in dough build
what is the state of your current build: trans, converter, rear end and fuel system
do you plan on doing the build or going to a shop
who and what are they tuning - stock PCM vs third party (Holey, and the others)
This just helps everyone give you info that's tailored to you and your build plans. Someone here has installed and run them all. So you'll get more feedback with just a little more background info.
You will notice that the Huron Speed kits offer a higher level of quality and completeness for sure. It's important to note that price differences between the kits often have to do with all the "extra" stuff that's not always included in a kit to offer a more "DIY"/"EBAY" pricing.

Buy the highest quality, most complete kit that you can afford. That usually means skipping the Ebay listing for "polished stainless turbo kit - T3/T4 fits Camaro / Firebird" or some such unless you have time and skill to redo some things.
People have used On3 kits, CX Racing kits, Huron Speed kits and others. I can't speak for On3 or others as I haven't used them, but Huron Speed has EXCELLENT customer service which is a huge plus especially if this is your first try at turbos like it has been for myself.

Can you list the other parts of the build. What are you doing for fuel? What are your goals? What is your current setup on the car, parts installed,etc?
It seems like you haven't done a lot of research about turbocharging these cars and we want to point you in the right direction.
