Default Phamspeed budget turbo

Has anyone done this kit yet, i have been looking at the STS for the summer, but then i came across this, what would your thoughts be? If i do the budget, do i need to do ANYTHING else at all?..do i need an exhaust, fuel, or anything like that?

Yes there is alot of things to be done if you want the most reliabilty from the setup. What are your goals? Fuel system will need to be addressed, exhaust is your own personal taste, tuning is a HUGE part. There is plenty more things that should be done but its up to you. I should be getting my kit in the next few weeks.

later

Our kit is a good choice if you're wanting a good street setup of about 450-700rwhp, even more if you wanted. The kits we sell are complete but you'd have to have an exhaust shop fab up the rest of the exhaust since we only make the dp go to the tranny and then have it cut off. Should cost you about $150 to have it done. Other than that, you have yourself a complete kit. You do however need to buy pusher fans but I can reccomend you some that are good in price and performance.

Other than our kit and some fans, you just need to work on your fuel setup if you're looking to run any higher than 5psi

i am looking for 400-500 hp...some reliable, and still good on gas when im not beating the **** out of it. If i don't have to upgrade the fuel system that would be nice, but i know thats prolly not going to happen, because again, i want to keep a pretty good driveability. The Tune i can do myself, i have great access to a dyno, so thats not a real problem. I mean when you compare it to the STS, would it make more sense to do the phamspeed, its like $1500 cheaper...

At least get 42#'s and a intank pump. Car will run like stock still and be safe.
