It should do over 300 whp even on Canadian 91 octane and will save you some money.

I don't know that financing a turbo kit into the purchase of the car is a great idea though.

Seconding the GT2871R as a great turbo to start at. It will get 300whp and the quick spool makes it hilariously fun. Having a bunch of boost but having to wait until you're in the mid-upper RPMs is meh.

The gtx28 is an amazing turbo and if I hadn't gone the big HP route I would've went with it. The customer service FBM provides is second to none and in my mind that is the most important thing to consider when choosing a supplier.

I would consider @MAPerformance kit as well. FBM is nice, Both kits are upgradable.

As the title points out I am torn between the GReddy kit and the Full Blown Stage 1 Premium with the GTX3076R kit. First let me introduce myself...

Thanks for your time guys. Happy hunting...

The ceramic coating option from full blown on the base kit, is it for the header and the down pipe?

Yes its all the hot parts. My only concern with the map kit is the stainless intercooler pipes but other than that it's ok

[limitedblkwrx]

One thing I do like about SS charge pipes is you are safe to crank down on T-Bolt clamps without crushing the pipe. Not saying that you see aluminium pipes getting crush to often, but its nice not to worry about that. Just like with everything there advantages and disadvantages. :/

@slisgrinder

To OP, you're in Calgary, AB?? Call Ryan @ Vex Performance you know they're a Treadstone dealer and installer/tuner right?? Just a thought. They've boosted now at least half dozen of our cars now in these parts. I know they've done a few FBM kits, innovates, vortech etc etc...

Not sure I'd trust a dealer to do install etc, I'd rather get a shop that knows what the F they're actually doing. The install and tune is VERY important to say least on our cars. Also know you'll want catch cans and a THermostatic controlled oil cooler as well. Plan on 7-10k overall by time done.

Ill be doing the install with some help from friends who know what they are doing. Ill be getting it dyno at some place near chinook. Maybe thats the place you are mentioning?

I have installed greedy tuner turbo kit, and it is absolutely superb. Its the best decision that I have taken, and worth every penny. The drives like a dream now, even though there is a big turbo there is much less lag than a Evo or an STi, and there is plenty of toque at around 2000rpm that make overtaking even on the 5th gear pretty simple which I could have newer done with a STi. I got a Delicious Tuning EcuTek Flash and Go, which worked every well with my setup and didn't even need to retune it worked at the first go. I don't know about the FullBlown but to me Greddy is awesome.

[slisgrinder]

Well... I am have made a decision and I am gonna go with the GReddy kit. It seems to be good enough for my needs and there is always room to grow with a little bit of work.


Thanks guys for all your help.

Sorry quoted wrong person...
So for 300 whp you're looking at about 12psi of boost with the gt2871???

So it looks like for 300whp you're looking at just under 12 lbs of boost????
