TOPFUEL Japan's Turbo Kit for $3,600?
Does anyone have any information regarding the TOPFUEL S2000 turbo kit? http://www.topfuel.to has some pictures and pricing, but doesn't have many specs. If this kit is complete the price of the turbo kit may be in the same ballpark as the S/C kit price.

How much customization would be required? I really want to go with a turbo rather than a S/C and don't want to spend over 6K for it. I also know that TOPFUEL's intercooler costs an additional grand or so. The kit is supposed to make 400ps. Is that horsepower?>

The picture doesn't show intercooler, intake piping, BOV, etc. etc. You would spend as much if you bought the speedcraft kit if you bought good stuff. That turbo looks a bit small in my opinion too but you can't see it too well. Nice manifold though.

Just my opinion but i used to live in Florida last year and my best friend still lives there and I dont care too much for speedcraft. We used to go to the street races all the time and to the track and speed craft was made fun of almost 90% of the time. *SpeedCrap* From people who had work done by them and everything I hear that they know what they are doing but that it is a rip off for what they give you. I wouldnt go with a speed craft but thats just me. I wish Greddy or HKS would make a turbo for our s2k's. Then we wouldnt have any worries about anything. Also take consideration that the turbos that speedcraft have installed havent really been driven for too long. the people that have them arent putting a lot of miles on them. We really dont know what will happen to the engine after a amount of miles have been added. Lets just hope that someone can pull through with something real nice besides superchargers.

i think that speedcraft has a solid turbo kit. the only thing that i have to complain is their price. it's just to damn expensive (for me at least)!!!! that's why i'm in the quest of piecing up my own kit. i also heard that Drag is releasing their kit this summer for a really good price. i guess we just have to wait.

Sorry that you feel that Speedcraft(just F--ks everyone) I would like you to tell me what have they done, if anything but just being a shop that does work for people that want something for nothing, like 2k2s2000NY which has never done business with. and as far as getting laughed at I would like to know who lauged at Bone stock cars running into the high11 low 12's. My car ran 12.7@116 on 17in street tires with their kit. When your ready to come to reality, life will be over for you. Drag manifolds have been and will be garbage,, ive installed 12 of their kits from A to C and in a couple weeks the mani cracks or the tubes don't kit right,,, but then I guess you get what you pay for.....
