Si_Guy2000 Si_Guy2000 Jr Member Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 370 Loc: North Dakota	I'm looking to Turbo my 2000 Si soon here and I was wondering which of these companies turbo kits is better? I'm looking to get in the 360-380whp range and retain my air conditioning and power steering. Motor is a mildly built LS/VTEC. So which kit is better? _________________________ 2004 Onyx Black GMC Sierra Crew Cab Z71 - K&N FIPK, Edelbrock Headers, Superchips Tuned, Airaid Throttle Body Spacer, Magnaflow Catback Exhaust, Billet Grille, Custom Painted Mirrors, Denali Projector Headlights, Cadillac Escalade Door Handles and Tailgate Handle, GM Optional 20's, More Coming Soon... 2003 DSG Mustang SVT Cobra - 509whp 530wtq Too Much To List!! # 5894 of 8394 2000 EBP Civic Si EM1 Crew Member #88

They are not marketed as complete kits, but include everything you will need except for a fuel pump, injectors, and a standalone. AT some point you have to say "enough is enough" with what you can expect from a 'complete kit' and what you consider supporting mods - to me clutch/gauges/tires etc. are supporting mods. If you intend on building a 350whp street car/daily driver on a budget, then you have no business looking at a Full-Race kit and should piece something together. If you have money or are willing to save up and want to put down 450+whp, look into a Stage 2 Full-Race kit. _________________________ Working and living the dream in post-prohibition Washington State

Mr. Knowitall. Mr. Knowitall. banned Post Master Sr Registered: 06/25/07 Posts: 3410	Why the fuck do you want full race parts to make 450whp? WTF are you talking about? You can make 450whp with a log, 500 dollar t3/t4, and a 14lb wastegate spring. IMO if you want to brag about how rich you are and how much money you spent on your parts buy a full race kit. If you want to jack off to pictures of your car and impress other dudes who jack off to pictures of their car... buy the full race kit. People are fucking running 9's with log manifolds. I mean come on, how the fuck can you justify that full race garbage? _________________________ This website doesn't do me justice.

Mr. Knowitall. Mr. Knowitall. banned Post Master Sr Registered: 06/25/07 Posts: 3410	FWIW I cannot justify my 400 dollar stainless ramhorn manifold. It was a huge fucking waste of money, and I will never buy one again. _________________________ This website doesn't do me justice.

mastrcobb mastrcobb Jr Member Registered: 09/19/02 Posts: 665	the inline pro manifold is not a log manifold for one. 2ndly I would not buy a peakboost kit, I saw some welds on a manifold, and it looked like they just didn't really put much effort into it, single pass, and lots of undercut on some areas. _________________________ wtf is wrong with your head? that's like asking "if i get shot in the heart with a .357, will i die any more than getting shot with a .44?" - jsmonet
