b4 u buy the kit, find out who tunes them and what they prefer. also, the greddy sucks, save money by stand alone.
try strippermotorsports

aem seems to be pretty popular.
i forgot what others r asking for, go to the tc fi section and ask that question and they'll let u know.
only knowledge i have is from experience and with the greddy the stock ecu relearns itself.
depends on what u want really.
what r ur goals for the turbo kit?
i had over 300hp/tq and turns out, that wasnt enough
so i sold the kit and working on something or else selling the car.
ps - boost is addictive

The AEM standalone is by far the best thing to pick up if you plan to boost over 8psi if ever in the future, expensive as hell though. As far as Piggy backs, any system will get the job done at wide open throttle for the most part. It just depends to what degree can you tune them to.

I would recommend Dezod simply because you can do any kind of setup with them, turbo specs, fuel management, intercooler size, manifolds….. If you want to keep it somewhat local, take a drive down to Sound Performance in Illinois. They make their own kit and I have to say it's got some decent quality to it. Turbonetics probably the easiest to install just from my experience, Unichip is hard to tune and few people have the software.
