hellion is well backed and the highest quality out there. you are paying for excellence and a name that you can trust and that you know has made power. i wouldnt go anywhere else for turbos for our cars other than hellion. never heard a single bad thing about them.

well let this be the first bad thing you've heard about them. I know I don't, and I'm fairly sure Oxford isn't a fan of theirs either.

their kit's are all cookie cutter, and there's alot left in them if they changed the designs slightly, but that's besides the OP's point.

To the OP, if you're really looking to do a single turbo, you might want to look into what it would take to put it together yourself, because doing it yourself is almost if not better than just buying a random kit. I say this because then you're in control of every piece that goes into the puzzle, rather than just putting a kit together and hoping it meets your goals.

There are a few people out there who make good turbo kits, but aside from being pretty in-efficient, hellion is pretty damn good.

Hell I would honestly look into local speed shops, they might know of someone local who does such things.

can you elaborate into why hellion kits are inefficient??? Cause i thought that their kits made pretty good power. I mean 700rwhp single turbo 2v is pretty good i thought. I know some of the bends in the piping are a little extreme but they make decent power and are really high quality.

hellion is a rip for what it is, its good parts and all, but they skimp on the turbo imo for $7k

i actually would rather have a 400 hp single turbo 2v, i was kinda looking at it because i am going to be getting about 4 grand in January and i don't know if i really wanna get a power adder right now, but if i can piece a kit together for fairly cheap i think i might do it
