More expensive than the Stillen kit and I don't have to lose the car for a month...no thanks I'd rather just put a dp on a GTR.

Yea thats total BS. Your better off getting the GTM kit like you said.

Haha not quite. I figure if their cheapo starter system is only $2k (which is a great deal, really) I just would like some more direction on what to do with it. The company it seems was very friendly and I enjoyed speaking with them, but the cost on the bolt on kit is a little higher than I think is fair. I mean it's supposed to be a budget-minded solution to boosting no?

That being said, I still am itching to just buy their starter single turbo and throw it on, but I don't have enough experience to buy it now and build that baby myself. Maybe in the winter when the car is outta commission for 4 months anyways. My primary motivation is just about 400-450 rwhp for under $4-$5k, which I know is asking a lot, but this seems like the most plausible means of accomplishing that.

I'm expecting 450whp @4psi for about $5-8k. I'm also expecting Vida Guerra to knock on my door with a check for $100 mil

Oops, meant to say hp, not rwhp. Either way, I can't imagine a well tuned one of those base STS Systems gain less than 100hp at the wheels. I don't think that it's that ridiculous, and am planning on assembling myself so it's really just the cost of parts and tune....

6 speed vq35 was making 400whp at 9-10psi

Would it be worth it to pay 6.5-8k for a twin turbo rear mount setup?
