I would say wait until the new year cause I have a feeling there will be a few companies all releasing kits at the same time

I'd say get the Greddy kit if you want one now. You should see the same power gains as you do with the p/e s/c..which is roughly 40% increase.

Good luck, other wise wait and see what else comes out!

http://www.hopupracing.com claims to have the kit for $2,500.

Otherwise, custom or wait till after the new year. ZPI should have some stuff coming out soon as well as other companies.

Unfortunately, just because they are listing it, doesnt mean they can still get it. I actually think my buddy BJ got one of the last few kits available in the states a couple of months back. I could be wrong though but Im pretty sure they arent producing them anymore...Its all good though, all Greddy does is relabel Mitsu turbos so you can basically create your own kit if you can get someone to make you a mani wich shouldnt be too hard..you really only need the flanges then you can get to work. Plus the Greddy kit doesnt come with an intercooler, so you can create your own that way also. I think the supercharger that is taking the place of their turbo should be realeased within a month or two into the new year.

I'm hoping the s/c kit they do come out has some good power gains. At least what power enterprise has. I don't know if i would go with Greddy or not, i'd have to see how well their kit is designed and holds up. I want some kits to come out to beat whats already out there for us. To make it more interesting and power hunger potiental.
