So is Turbo Discounters a reliable company? How much did you pay for that kit shipped? Does it include everything needed for our cars to run?

No thanks to a turbo discounters kit. Should have spent your money on the SF kit.

Once you have it installed, let us know some things:

1) Turbo lag- How quick does this thing spool up?

2) Engine temp- How much hotter does your car now run during daily driving?

3) Fuel economy- How many average miles per gallon did you lose (or gain)?

4) Total added weight- How much weight (roughly) did this whole kit add to the front of your car?

5) Fit and finish- Of what level qaulity do you feel this kit rates?

6) Seat of Pants feel- How does your car pull now? What other cars can you relate it's power to?

7) Overall satisfaction- Was it (in your opinion) worth it?

From all of us that are very interested in this kit, Thanks.

Turbo discounters was great to deal w/. Any question that Brett or Brad couldnt answer, was answered by kits Engineer. Also the kit does have everything including the fuel management system, and it should spool very quickly due to the BB t25 turbo. Oh, and the vehicle specific vids arent available yet from them.

Are you really from Annapolis or do you go to the Naval Academy?

We add fuel injectors, this page:

http://turbodiscounters.com/html/fuel.aspx

details our fuel management system. It includes a turbo timer and allows for changes to the fuel mix on the fly.

This turbo kit you got... do you think you could use either the 'Superior' or the 'Extreme' kit on an automatic trans?? or will it be too much and just eat it??

I think the tranny would live, but I dont know about the torque converter. IMO the superior kit is a waste of money. You need the fuel system, and an intercooler and BOV are needed as well.
