Phamspeed I was wondering if anyone out there has a intercooled Phamspeed turbo kit, and how much did it cost you to get? Is it an easy install? How much, if any, fabrication was needed? Do they make as much power as maybe a D-1SC Procharger would make? Or, are there any other good turbo kits out there that are just as good or better? Sorry, thats a ton of questions, but i dont know much about the turbo side of FI. Thanks!

I PMed the ground zero guy with a few Q's because I plan on buying my kit at the end of the month and he never replied 
either way, its about the best kit for the money, the PTK is nicer but it cost about 800 more w/o a turbo, so IMO it isnt worth it. Turbo will almost always make more power than a supercharged setup.

im curious as well. i have a guy who said he could install it, but wanted to know what all was involved in the installation before he gave me any definite answers/prices. Groundzero/Phamspeed has no instructions or install guides anywhere. It'd be nice if they could jump in here and respond.

You really don't need instructions, its pretty simple. Look up frcefed98's and mine threads about our phamspeed kit installs. We both have the manifold kit and both of use fabbed up our own FMIC kit.
I can tell you this from a roll, in 2nd gear, and throttle only a little more then halfway the car lights up the tires. Its SICK!!!!!

have you personally see a Phamspeed kit?i have 1 sitting in my garage,you have an STS kit, i have seen them as well.And the Phamspeed kit is VERY good quality compared to the STS....think about it...theres a huge debate about the STS kits by owners and former owners who either loved or hated there STS kit....now consider the Phamspeed kit....everyone whose installed 1 or has 1 waiting to be installed says they love then,the look and fitment is top notch.Personally id go with the company whose had the least complaints....dont make a blanket statement like that until you do all the research...and the kits arent just for camaros

you have got to be kidding me, first of all, the sts design is a flawed one, whether you want to admit it or not. Second, you're obviously a dumbass, because the phamspeed kit is a very high quality kit, especially for the price. if you factor in a larger turbo and a FMIC on the sts it would be very close. You sound like a whiny bitch, but thanks for your contribution to the thread .

Why would you want to spend more money on a kit thats less efficient when you can get a kit that comes with everything you need? Ie...larger turbo, fmic, etc. It confuses me....
damn... might aswell get the PTK kit if you wanna spend that much.
