I know you have the base turbos but what about the other options? I'm interested in what a cheaper level kit can do reliably. It doesn't take much to push this kit to almost $10,000.

With stock headers that $10,000 is a hard pill to swallow. Give me all the upgrades and I will pay $8500 at this moment.I know you have the base turbos but what about the other options?

I was pretty excited about the base price until I started configuring the kit. If I knew the base kit could SAFELY make high six hundreds low seven hundreds it would jump to the top of my list.With stock headers that $10,000 is a hard pill to swallow.

Yea, cast wheel and journal bearings. UGH. Not for me. But, I am just glad we have multiple boost options for our cars.I was pretty excited about the base price until I started configuring the kit.

Oh I understand. I have NEVER ran journal bearings always ball bearings. Ball bearings last longer,can take heat and are recommended on High HP. Cast wheel. I have never done that either. For me the billet upgrade and BB is making me stack money. I watch so many people go cheap on boost and it in the end usually is more money.You guys, mine is the very base kit. I wanted bigger injectors for a fuel system later on and the cut outs. Delete those 2 items and thats it, just the basic kit you get. I didnt upgrade anything on the kit. Its the cast wheel and journal bearing turbos.
I guess they changed 10 years ago to up sell everybody. yea that fuel injection thingy was an up sell as well. Cars ran just great without it. Yea I agree some of these comments.Rofl at these comments.
ALL turbos in the history of turbos have had cast compressor wheels until as recently as 10 years ago.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with cast wheels and journal bearings.
I have owned journal bearing turbos that lasted 200k miles running 20+ psi every day for years on end.
They are up selling you guys big time on a lot of this crap.
The BASE kit will make over 800 wheel hp safely with ease.
Huh? Pure conjecture and opinion.I guess they changed 10 years ago to up sell everybody. yea that fuel injection thingy was an up sell as well. Cars ran just great without it. Yea I agree some of these comments.
Awesome! Moar hi res pics!This kit is great and a game changer for the market imo. Yeah i wish they made shorty manifolds but stock should be fine and makes the ease of install a breeze imo looking at all the components. I just received my kit and will be installing next week and can post some more details then. Opted for the CEA precision 6266 turbos with billet wheels and journal bearing with the blackout appearance package. These turbos are beautiful...
pretty sure I have blocked whoever you're replying to. Nut huggers can be pretty senseless.Huh? Pure conjecture and opinion.
It’s your money, waste it how you please!
