I'm curious everyone says all the kits are relatively the same which I agree just have their minor difference as far as piping etc etc ... But why do some ppl prefer one over the other just saying... Is it price ... Because if its the same why not save money and go cheaper so u have more money to upgrade some where else... I think ppl mean they like there company fa20 fbm pl just off the base tune? lol just saying @whitefrs cuz I know you said u like fbm>pl>fa20

Dont forget superb quality, craftsmanship, and customer service/support. And it just plain looks better than the others IMO.

But that's all minor stuff air filter really lol

Turbo placement :/ u can't use the stock fans ... Thus using the shitty fans that cause heating problems

Intercooler is smaller than mine lol

So again my point you spent more money than me on a different kit that has these minor adjustments and if you went with fa20 u would have extra money with a bigger intercooler , no heating problems, and air filter no comment lol

But again all my opinion no harm down or disrespect

It is tough to decide. After optioning out, all the kits are pretty evenly priced.

The Ptuning turbo also looks interesting.

In a few months I'm going to pull the trigger, and I'll be working with my local tuner for install and tuning.

Price won't be the determining factor.

It's not a bad thing. I don't see a single problem with the other kits at all. I will admit, some of it is personal. I know LJ and the Fullblown team pretty well. They are a few miles from my house, and did some work on my S2K. Plus, they have been in the game for quite some time and are known world wide. They broke the stock whp record on the stock F20, they build some quality in house Honda products, NSX's, and GTR's. To be honest, I have never heard of FA20CLUB until this forum, but don't take that personally. That's why I decided to go with them. I know I will have good local support if I ever needed. And I can get dyno tuned on the spot instead of waiting to remotely tune via email through Tony. Plus, Im still back and forth on his customer service. I know you are biased and will praise him, but I have heard some unprofessinal things from him through other forum members, and that kind of turned me off. But im really not starting anything. I do like their kit quite a bit. In the end, I personally think everyone should boost their FRS/BRZ after driving one. My god is it fun.
