if i were you man I would go with Turbonetics... You don't seem to be that knowledgeable and the hassle-free warranty is great for any newbie to the FI world. Plus (I am gonna get flamed for saying this) but you can run the stock clutch with it for a while, I did with minor slipping when i really slammed on the gas. Other than any of these kits...

Clutch (might as well invest in a flywheels since ur installer will be down there anyways)

One step colder Iridium Spark Plugs (any local auto parts store has em... so does garage1217 http://www.garage1217.com)

A really knowledgeable shop that is there when things go wrong

Also, install on a turbo kit from a good shop would be their rate times 8-9hrs... so expect about 600 bucks for that. Install on the clutch is about the same, around 600 (maybe 400 if they are really good).

Kit wise.... I think turbonetics is a good deal because of their awesome customer service and warranty. I put down 250whp with just an exhaust. Dezod i can recommend for their customer service but I am not familiar with their warranty. ZPI I cannot recommend personally because i have had issues with their products and shipping practices.

My dad is a mechanic so he will be installing it for me..

 

is he very knowledgeable about aftermarket turbo set ups? You need to make sure you also learn to troubleshoot your kit when boost leaks come up and learn what AFR's and what boost is safe and all that. You need a boost and AFR gauge... oil pressure and some other gauges are good to have too but the boost and AFR gauge are must haves.

You need to find a good tuner that knows alot about the piggy back you are running too. Base maps are ok but getting the kit fine tuned is always a benefit.

 

I obviously support our own kit

Think of it as a custom kit that's still a full bolt-on and plug and play. Custom turbo choice and exhaust. But all bolt up.

 

plus u got dezod's knowledge and great customer service to back up their kits and products... i will rec. them even though im not a customer of theirs hah

 

Yea my dad knows how to put on a turbo. My dad has put some turbos in before, and he has been working on cars for 20years.

And the gauges, I know I have to have that. And a unichip or e-manage.

 

You cant forget about Treadstone..
