Also, the ultimate kit is factually one of the lowest quality kits for our cars, argue it all done, had be done research he never would have bought it. .

I bought the kit. I'm new on here, bought my 06 S2k in June. Did some research on kits with the intent to go forced induction.

This kit showed up for what I thought was a decent price for getting into fi with a ap2, so I bought, picked it up today. Kit looks like new. I'm not expecting chart topping power or to impress others, just hoping to have about 350 whp in what I hope will be a reliable setup.

What is the matter with this ultimate racing kit??? Let me know please. I know there are others that will make far more power, but that wasn't my goal in getting this. The manifold is a log type, so perhaps that is not the flashiest, but oh well. For the money it fit my budget of boosting my car.

Thanks Lee, and I hope your v8 swap is a success.

Any one who wants to help me make my entry into a fi s2k a success just chime in with some advice.

I had that kit and after 2 years of nonsense I sold it. It's always something going wrong. I can't count how many turbo to manifold bolts I had to replace. I had to get the manifold planed several times because it would warp and give me an exhaust leak. Hks bov is a brutal piece (the c-clip construction totally sucks) Tial-Q v band is much much better/easier. Also like I said before MAKE SURE you have the lines hooked up correctly for the oil filter relocation or you WILL be putting a new motor in your car shortly.

I guess the kit is OK we all have quirks with our kits but that one has a little more than the others. For the price difference I guess you can expects a bit more issues to resolve with that kit but it's alright for your power goals.

Almost bought the kit from OP. Hey for the price, it was worth a gamble. I would take it to a reputed tuner get all known bug a boos taken care of first. The best thing about these forums is that people have already gone down that road. You have years and years of experience to draw on, all you have to do is use that search button up there.
