Question Joetech Turbo

i went to Joetech motorsports here in Dallas to ask about a turbokit for the 7thgen, and the guy over there goes that they came up with a kit for the Ex that puts 197hp to the wheels at 8 psi, thats almost 200hp , the guy over there showed me the estimate for the kit and it costs $6000 including labor. i know its a little expensive but i also know that they gonna do a very good job. i was woundering what do you guys think of this?

it is the same set up that riceburnerEX has, he gets all of his work done at joetech, he said that at 10psi he hung dead even with a s2000, i have seen this kit in person and it is a very nice set up, if i had 6gs ide be going with that also...

6G? Do they do any internals for that price? Then it would be worth it to me.

i 100% doubt there is any internal work for that price, 6000 bucks out the door is damn good, considering most kits dont come with some of the things that u need. most big companies charge anywhere from 500-1000 bucks for install on turbos, so they are incorperating the little things that come up when putting a turbo in

SF turbo is half that price. Install is $100 bucks and you have to buy him lunch. I haven't seen the guy but I doubt he's going to eat $400 -$900 worth of food. You could use the saved $$ to buy upgraded internals. Thats just my 2 cents.

Yes but the install also now includes some diagnostic checks and some driving to ensure the kit is functioning properly.

197hp at 8psi is good but i'd rather pay $3g's and turn up the boost on a SF kit.

Alcohol injection? sweet. Bud driving under the influence is bad. But at least i can tell the officer truthfully " I didn't DRINK anything officer" it was injected.

i own an S2000 and my car before it was dis-assembled and taken to get "fixed" was beating my s2k by 1 1/2 car lengths on the road from 40-100 and on the track i beat it by 5 tenths of a second.....SF kit is the way to go if you want to get the best bang for your buck IMO.

SF turbo still seems like a better alternative. Unless it can perform as good as SF and be atleast 600 dollars less its not worth it in my opinion. I have yet to hear a bad word about SF.
