Stattama in my opinion is the best you can get. I dont like the cartunning kit...do to the fact if you use the SC housing...it could cause cylinders 3 and 4 to lean out. other than that it is an ok basic kit.

go to ZZPerformance.com. or better yet email Zoomer. they have quite a few diferent options, and their are many turbo kits out now.

The Cartuning kits are running the best straight out of the box times... If the offset outlet isn't a problem with the M90 it won't be a problem with the turbo. Boost is boost. With that said, if you don't like the idea of using your blower as a plenum we can either a. ported your blower and intake so that it's opened up (waist of money) or b. sell you a custom fabricated intake to use with the setup.

Bam!

Not in all Cases sumtimes cheaper is just as good as something's more expensive
like the turbo kits all really that is different is the name they both produce the same results and ones like 1100 cheaper than the other....pending if u wana maybe pay more for a name that up to u....what im sayign is both run about the same time and once cheaper than the other :lolsign:

Cartuning kit with intercooler, high temp coating, turbo upgrade, boost controller, and L67 block off plate is roughly $60 under stattama kit ($5K) and you dont need to pay for the trip to grand rapids. i think both kits are good just personal pref.

they quoted me 5k and grand rapids is only about 2 hours longer of a drive than anywher else

 

[REDHOTT04GTP]

Where u live chip lmao MIKE.K IS OPENING HIS SHOP NEXT MONTH?????? thats alot closer that grand rapids thats a 4hr trip compared to a 15 min one lol

 

[chipmonk212121]

im surrrounded by corna nd cows........im like 3 hours fromg rand rapids.....and 1.5 from where his shops gonna be...... and im NOT downing mike........im just saying what the stattama turbo cost since i had one quoted to me jsut giving him a little info......he is from southern illinois anyway......you should try STLGPC.com since your really close to that anyway.......unless you wanna spend 5 hours driving up here........

 

[98 TGP TOY]

He is in Southern-Southern Illinois guys..I could probably do the install if you didnt want to drive all the way north. I will be at home in the Peoria area March 11-18.

I have hands on expereince with turbos, but have never installed the CT kit. Its suppose to be a 6hr job...but im sure we can beat that if we dont run into major problems. Install should be a breeze.

Stattama kits are great. I'm not trying to put them down at all. Do your own research is all I'm saying. There is not a single kit on the market that is of higher quality or more complete than the Cartuning kits. I'll take pictures of the next kit that comes in and show you guys how intricate they get with detail. It's amazing.

when it comes to cars...you get what you pay for. more money..better investment.

The words car and investment should never be used in the same sentence together.

Amen !

I don't see where you can justify that the CT kits are running better times straight out.

I really think they need to re-do their setup. Granted, it works, but it could be working twice as well if they ran the wastegate correctly instead of worrying about a "clean" looking bay.

I'm still waiting for one to break 120mph traps. It's going to take >20psi for them to do it. By then that turbo is almost out of breathe.

id rather take a trip and have the guys who designed the kit install it, and get it running right, IMNSHO.

 

[Sinister Drag Designs]

well i doubt if there was prob whne mike k i sinstalling it that he will hand you a non-running car or leave it half ass, he can hand you a 12-11 sec car in one trip to his shop. and its like only 20-30 minutes for most of us, i think id go with the cartuning, kevein at CT is great at getting any questions or concerns answered....has anyone tried to get answers from "turbo tim", i like the rest of zzp but that guy cant answer anything, and everyone else is never in shop

 

[boss99blkgtpsd]

thanks again for all the help guys.. i sent out a few e-mails to a couple of venders. now im just waiting for the best deal, prouduct, service, and i dont want to travel too far. by the way what is STLGPC.com i could not find it. well ill keep u guys posted with any progress and of course all the kills.

they will be offering a 67 trim, that should be good for 26 psi with ease,
