yeah so JDL's website is in dire need of an update for the kits and they know it, they're just so busy building them right now. 86Speed has the V2 kits on their website but if you call JDL directly they can give you any information you need to get your kit customized how you want it.

The Precision base turbo is good and you can get it sized to make more power than the stock motor can handle. It's a journal bearing turbo and it will make 300whp on pump gas pretty easily. I prefer the Garrett turbos because theyre ball bearing and oil/water cooled so there's more inherent durability there. Can't go wrong with either turbo but for a simple street build I would stick with either of the base turbos.
