I have never even heard of them. I went to their website and they looked pretty legit. I would have to get the kit with the FMIC tho.
Anyone on this site have one of their turbo kits???

I started with $1200 a couple months ago that I was originally going to spend on some Teins. Then I said, I'll just save every dollar until I can afford a turbo instead...
In the past two months, I haven't spent one dollar on food, clothing, or anything. When I could, I got my friends to drive me around so I didn't have to pay for gas. I park illegally when I go to school. That alone saved me $300-400. In the past two weeks I bought a Spearco FMIC, Turbonetics T3/T04B, GReddy BOV, TiAL Wastegate, GReddy turbo timer, Autometer pillar pod, and Oil temp, boost, and A/F gauges. I'm about to order the manifold. The only thing I'm waiting for is the AEM EMS which should be out in July and I'm ready to go for installation when I buy the clutch and they do the IC piping.
Honestly, just save every dollar you can. I didn't think I'd be able to make enough to get it done this summer but I did. I only work two days a week and 4 hours each day because of school.

well i understand your situation man. I am a senior in high school with a car payment, cell phone bill, insurance payment and a gurlfriend to take out every now and then. So like i only have about $200.00 bucks a month to throw into the car. you just have to be patient. Or you could always just get a loan from a bank. so you'd get a turbo kit and also be makin credit in your man
aside from my 235 mo car payment, i picked up another job
Im delivering pizza and making 10-15 an hour, i still dont know if i want to build up the motor first then get the turbo kit of vise versa...
this week im actually working every day..wow...some days ill work say 10-4 at the supermarket then 5-9 at the pizza place..looong day but the second job is fun. free food and i get to drive around all day (i only use about a quarter tank in 4 hrs)
But i want to save up for some good modifcations...
BTW Smokie2k2LX, whats your estimate on all those costs?? including that aem ems and the clutch
