Best kit for around 400rwhp?

What your opinion for the best turbo set up that yields around 400rwhp. I think i could settle for less if i did some BPU mods along with a front mount IC. Also whats your experiance with this kind of horsepower? Hows the reliability of the car? I dont have a seven yet but if i do its going to be my daily driver. I just want a kit that will beat the BPU supras and hang with some other things. Please tell me all the factors to consider. Also prices are good.

it would really help if we knew what kind of car you have.

pretty much any turbo kit out there (for an FD) will get you 400 RWHP with good tuning.

do a search on this forum.

BTW, change your sig..."speed kills, drive a honda and live forever" is really, really, really old and played out.

how much would it cost to get all the goodies for a t-78 and have it run properly? also i assume basic performance stuff will cost close to 3.5k with a front mount IC. what does the install of a turbo kit usually run?

I would never recommend a T-78 for only 400 RWHP ... get something more like Apex or a T60-1, T62-1, TS04 .... might not exactly hit 400 @ 15 psi but will be real close. You should state if you want 400 RWHP to be daily driver or max potential. That will make a difference.

It would be for daily driving. As long as its close then i would be fine. I would be running 93 octane 99% of the time.

Apex rx-6 barely used less than 1500miles downpipe wrapped and dump pipe already diverted back into manifold. $2900 all hardware included.I think that is well in your budget.
