I'll get my self in a position to join in on the BP kit on the next round or 2.  |
No problem. Would hate to see you get jobbed by someone.... I DO wish they were reputable as they are local to me... FYI I don't think Z Fever ships their kit- I think you have to ship them your car so they can hack it on themselves. If that is something you are interested in, there are some great shops that will do a custom top-mount style single turbo job for you - I believe JTRAN in Houston has done it and they have a great rep. Incidentally, they also tuned my car and are great/honest people who have gone above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction.
STS also has a poor reputation, and if you go read a book about turbocharging you will start to realize the flaws inherent to their design.
For our platform, and in kit form, the only real choice for single turbo is the BP kit which has a great reputation. Had I not gotten such a great deal on my TT setup, I'd probably be a BP user myself. Good luck and do a lot of reading in this subforum - there is a ton of knowledge stored here.
