If you like your friends dezod T.E.A kit, that will put you right where you want to be.
Otherwise id have to recommend TurboToyotas Stage 1 kit. If your looking for more power get his stage 2 kit. =)

with dezod kit tho he said he wouldnt recomend this kit without a somewhat built engine and becuz the turbine is so big that i wouldnt get boost untill about 3500rpm. but his kit looks amazing and becuz his motor is fully built his car drops low 12s at about 1 bar boost. however i think im gonna take your guyz advice and check what turbotoyotas has 2 offer.......................thnx

Second, you have the option of whatever Turbo you want from Dezod, smaller turbine will be able to hit boost faster.
I have a Dezod kit, running a T3/T4 E54 Trim / .63 AR and made 308.5whp @ 8.9psi w/ 2.5" Exhaust, tuned with a Emanage Blue...

too bad zpi isn't in production anymore... their stage 1.5 turbo (4800) would've given you around 350WHP... i was gonna get a $10K custom setup from them last summer but the place closed down... legal issues
now i would say go with the dezod S1 kit... bad a$$

Funny? Or sad?
Anyway, if you already have a hydra, I'd assume your planning on building your motor down the road and pushing high numbers, so I'd go TurboToyotas.
But yousaid you onlywant 300whp, so youcould go with either Turbo Toyotas stage 1GT or the base stage 1 kit. To save some cash, you could go with his new basik kit.
Or, you could opt for the dezod stage 1 kit, but if your buddy already has one, you might want something different.
