that kit doesnt' even have a fuel system.....i'm sorry, but i think that it can't live up to the SF kit. The person that owned that car posted on here saying that he was dyno'ed at like 185 hp at 5psi and he never posted the dyno sheet. Sitck with the SF kit.

I'm not saying that the kit won't be good, i just dont' know how u can run a turbo set-up with no fuel system. I think what this kit does is inject enormous amounts of alcohol to make up for the lack of fuel.

Plus they have no real #'s to back it up. I wanna see some proof. The SF kit is tried and true. And i really wouldn't want to relocate my battery.
