Does any1 have a hp performance turbo kit and if so what do you like/dislike about it. How is the tune and around when does it starts to spool?

I think the powerhouse kits come with a 67mm turbo.

HP offers their kit with either the Stage 1 or Stage 2, maybe more. Not sure on sizes but the Stage 2 is a ball bearing turbo. The shop who did mine put a HP in car last year and they were really impressed. Sorry I can't give more info.

Simon1 Are you glad you went with a Turbo over a SC?

Would you do it again if you could do over?

Any Pros and Cons of a Turbo for an everyday car over a SC car?

Thanks,

HP performance has a lot of extra features that I like over Hellion. JetHot coated piping, Garrett Turbo's, some nice options, and $1000 less for the 67mm kit then Brenspeeds Hellion kit. Use their tune to get to a reputable tuner.......

Yes I am very happy with it! It spools very fast and hits hard. I'm running a little more than 5mph faster in the 1/4 with a slipping clutch and poor (meedeocre)traction.

I wish I had done little more homework on the turbo the kit came with. I didn't know I could upgrade the turbo at the time I purchase it. Had I know, I would have gotten the ball bearing option. But, I can a second turbo when I rebuild the motor that taps into the same system.
