Default Turbo Problems or suggestions

I know its a very broad question but i am wondering from all you turbo owners what is your suggestions is any kit better as far as reliability I know Greddy is a safer kit but its really low hp potential. I am looking for 400-450whp range.

Have you guys that are running turbos experiencing lots of problems?

Basically what im saying if you could do it all over what would you do?

Are you going to do the work yourself and is it your daily driver?

i have just under 450 and am playing things very safe.....I could have gone higher but don't see a need. I primarily drive on lo boost and it's great. Had the best help build and tune it and haven't had any problems

hmm, mase kit, inline pro kit both will get u what u want and reliability is a relative term. overall, you should be very happy. whenever doubling hp of a car, thing start to fail. just be prepared and expect it.

. If you have stock components to engine, etc. its just a matter of time. Start saving for a rebuild.

the only thing I would have done if I did it again was buy 2 and do it twice!

I'd pick a different platform to start on haha. But on a S2k, i'd say first find your ideal tuner and start talking to him. Building relationships from the people that will be tuning your car is a good idea. I go inline pro, but everyone has their own opinion. Oh and go AEM 2 if your going AEM.
