So a good quality single turbo kit would be something like a Hellion kit? Hellion kits are proven to be reliable with no issues? How much would the install cost me?

I don't own one, so I won't say I have personal experience. But I will say Hellion is a well known company, and I haven't heard any owner complaints. They've also been around for a little while. They're kits are also complete. If you buy a kit from them, you shouldn't need to buy anything else to install it, you have everything required for it to fit and run correctly.

That sounds nice and all but then why is the Hellion turbo kit so much more?

Quality of material mainly. on3 supposedly uses thin cheap 304 stainless steel, which over time, will have heat problems and crack. they also dont provide a k-member/coilover setup either, which is another ~1000$ depending on what you get. nore do they provide you with a fuel pump(150-200), or injectors (400)

it'll get you by for about 360-400hp yes, and it will last you possibly 1-2 years yes. at the very least, i would say if your gunna do it, grab the one with the master power turbo -- that way when/if you decide to get a hot side thats made a bit better, or if it cracks or leaks, you already have a turbo to work around.

im not saying they're complete crap, as i dont own one. im just saying that i've read other people's comments about them from other sites, and this is what i have learned/observed.

*if* i were going to go with a turbo kit, which i have considered numerous times now, i would go all out, and get a HP performance twin turbo kit. but thats just me. right now i am saving up for a Kenne Bell instead.
