you lucky little...

anyway, you shouldn't have asked that, this is going to be another argument over which is the best.

go to www.dezod.com, www. zpiracing.net, www.turbotoyotas.com, www.turbokits.com. your going to have to review the pros and cons of each kit and try to decide which one fits your needs best.

if it were me, i'd get a dezod signature kit with an aem standalone engine management system, with ball bearing turbo.

I have ZPI's clutch, its great, ans ALOT better than the ACT and CLUTCHMASTERS clutches that ive used before.

What are your goal?

What is your budget?

You have got to look at ALL the kits before you decide. took me over a year to decide. i went with ZPIracing.

GOOD LUCK! HAPPY BOOSTING!

Nice birthday present

<---got socks and underwear for mine LOL

Like Whocares said, check out ALL the kits before you decide. I shopped around for almost 9 months before deciding on ZPI.

Good luck and let us know!

Wow, way to make everyone else feel bad. haha. I'm sure everyone wishes they could get a free turbo also but our lives just aren't as good as yours i guess.

From what i've heard about all the different turbos - I say go with Turbonetics.

You're going to love being boosted. Your car will be putting down Evo's off a roll.

I think im going to go with the ZPI turbo stage0...Then upgrade it to a stage1 in the future...

The turbo kit comes with:
230whp (doubling stock power output)
6 psi
MHI/ZPI spec Big 16g
ZPIracing External 38mm Wastegate
Stainless charge piping
4 ply couplers
Stainless Manifold
Oil pan fittings for oil return
All fuel and timing tuning already complete
Polished piping

So what else do I need for this Kit?????

You could always get TWO kits and send one my way. That's the only thing you need to add there :D
