Aftermarket Turbo Kits!!

Ok so here goes, Im looking to upgrade the turbo, but i don't know to what, im looking at the greddy TDO6, Or the HKS but im not sure if i wanna internal waste gate. Its there any turbo kits out there that have external wastegates that are in the 3k range like the Greddy and the HKS? Im looking to move on to bigger and better things, but i want this maily for the strip, so fast spooling is a key issue, Also if there is a way to build a kit, say TO4 which should i choose, and what parts do i need, ANd whats the total price? Estimate?

Thanks
-Chris

Kits are ghey and overpriced. Make your own. Choose your turbo, manifold, wastegate, and intercooler. Then have intercooler piping made, and oil/coolant lines if they dont come with the turbo. Then of course you'll need fuel.

Its all depends on what you want.. I can make suggestions, but it'd be better if you did the research and chose yourself. You'll be much happier that way cause you'll get exactly what YOU want. Not what someone else thinks you want. Just learn the basics of turbos, compressor wheels and sizes, and their compression maps. I honestly dont know too much about em. I only know what I think would work well for what I want.

when i upgrade my turbo im going to go with a Turbonetics T04E ball bearing. the turbo itself runs like 1800 i think(correct me if im wrong) and you can get the HKS TO4 manifold for $250, then get a wastegate. thats gonna end up costing right under 3 grand. add an intercooler and youre all set. im not sure on the exact prices and specs but if you call up Turbonetics theyll be happy to talk to you and help you figure out what you need..they did for me anyway.
