Default who sells the sts kit for the least $$

I know the sponsors are to the right.The reason I ask this is because I am in Iraq and our firewall blocks those sights.I want to run one of these kits on my 96 t/a.Before I deployed I walked out into the parking lot and saw that my muffler had fallen off.I took this as a sign from God that I need to put a turbocharger in its place.Does anybody have this kit on their lt1 car,and how does it run?My car is an a4 what kind of # would I expect to get with this kit?

Check with TRT Turbos. They have pretty decent package pricing. Their price list is for LS1's and trucks, but still worth a look. Billy is extremely knowledgeable and friendly and will be able to help you out.

BTW, stay safe. I'd say over there.....but I'm stuck in Iraq too.

I hate to sound redundant, but I also vote for Texas Rear Turbo. They are stand up guys with a great rep and appear to follow up on their work.
I have the kit on my LT1. It is a stock engine, with 42 pound injectors and a Walbro 255 pump as the only mods. I am making right at 400 rwhp through my A4 at about 7.5 psi. This is compared to the ~230 that I started with.
Best of luck, and make it home safe. We think of you guys every day and wish you the best.
