Post What is the most reliable TURBO KIT

I'm thinking for much further ahead but what do you guys think is the most reliable turbo kit to install on your 86?

Turbo kits are mostly the same. I'd be more concerned about what the most reliable tune is

comes down to quality of parts used, directly corrilated to the price tag. you get what you pay.

much like a bodyshop, pick two out of three:

good
reliable (in place of fast)
cheap

This includes tuning.

So the more you pay, the better the kit? OK then who charges the most for a kit? I joke.

I don't think Sportsguy83's kit has had any failures at all. So I'm going to go with that one.

If you're looking for a more readily available kit I'd say Crawford's kit probably has the fewest failures. But there might be an issue with the size of the control group.
