All right, that could be taken wrong.
I meant they aren't elitists.

We've installed the Full Blown kit, and we were pretty astonished about the quality for the price you pay for the kit, it's top notch.

Driving around with this kit on is pretty amazing as well. I think you're on the right page considering Full Blown. Let me know if you have any questions on it, I'll be happy to help out

Installed their base kit? Does the car feel good as far as driveability, power, and reliability? Here is my past experience....I put the TRD SC on my 2005 tC and was quite disappointed like many that were stoked about the kit pre-installation. Now, I have added the pulley, intake, and exhaust which have made it feel like it is more worth it. If I drop this kind of cash I want an exciting result, that's all. Thanks for everyone's help thus far!

Power feels good throughout the power band. No real appreciable lag in the kit, it starts boosting lower down the RPM range, so there's no waiting for the turbo to kick in like an STI or an Evo with a larger turbo. Right off the bat you'll notice a huge difference.

When it comes to reliability, a car can only be reliable as long as it has a reliable driver who maintains their car. So with turbo kits, as you can imagine with the new parts, you'll require more oil in the car, so as long as you keep up with maintenance, she'll be good to you. It's a good kit, she wont do you wrong.

Great to hear! Thanks for your details in feedback. Much appreciated. I am leaning towards this kit. Not looking for beaucoup power or anything. Just something to make the car faster than what it is. I have some excellent professionals just an hour away from to do the installation at Dynosty.

He meant fully spooled at 4k. This is what my Full Blown kit with GT2871R boost plot looks like:

If you think that is turbo lag, then I don't know what turbo you plan to get. I still think the GT28 is the way to go.

Got to throw the PTuning kit in there for good measure. Simply a sick setup.

go ahead and pull the tigger im sure he can set that up! Fa20club.com pretty much has the highest numbers and as far as realibity you can see my car 9-10,000 turbo miles and beat on it hard in florida's heat lol! Best price for the most power and customer service which we all seen on the forum!

you really cant go wrong with them! alot of people are even going with other kits and getting tuned by him! so what ever choice you go with weather its fa20club or fbm or avo or even supercharged set up all i can say is at least get it tuned by him!! again best of luck with your choice and let me know how you like it !! i look forward to your build thread.

Again, thanks for the input everyone! It means a lot to be on this forum with knowledgeable and helpful car guys/gals.

PTuning was another kit that looks good as well. I am still on the hunt. My only reluctance is my lovely factor warranty.
