So I'm toying with the idea of ordering a bt kit, or piecing one together.
As far as the goal. It is my understanding that the stock internals are reliable to ~350hp. I don't know if I want to go in to all the work of rebuilding the motor and drivetrain, at least not for a while. So, I'm thinking like 320ish.
Since I've already got APR s/w I naturally checked out their stage 3/+ kits and it looks like the 3+ would be too much (is that even possible??) for my goals. I know I can tone it down, but they claim 340 on 93 gas, well, that's fine and dandy except I'll be running w/m on top of that... So the next choice is to step down to just the stage 3 which they claim 290 on 93 and 338 on 100. That's more like it. The kit is 4k, but looking in to the parts included, I've already got a bunch of the stuff (but the more important items they don't give any info on...some secret squirrel stuff I guess), so I'm not sure if I want their kit anymore.
Next I looked at Kinentic's stage 2 kit which for just shy of $5k I can be right around a reliable 350 (obviously I'd tone it down until the internals/drivetrain was beefed up). Their kit is more customizable, which I like. Here is was I was thinking. GT2871R, .48 a/r on a t3 housing, 630 injectors/sw, the rest of the kit includes the standard kinetic t3 mani, fmic, 39mm wastegate, and other supporting hardware. The have an optional high flow fuel pump, since it's optional, is it really needed?? or just something else I can spend money on?
Another option is to just piece a kit together through 034 or another reputable company like that...
