So the GT kit would be the better one to go with? Don't I need an oil catch can or something like that with ball bearing turbos?

Um...he was asking me...not you!

Yeah, the TRDs dont arent' nearly as low ad mine either.

The GT has a ball bearing turbo which spools faster and lasts longer. you dont' need a catch can any more for either, but the stage 1 GT has a smaller turbo then the base stage 1. The baste stage 1 is actually on par power wise with the stage 2 GT, but the GT will spool faster and last longer, so it's a better setup.
However, even the stage 1GT is good for about 300hp, so unless your planning on building up the motor, you should be good.

Our kit will get you about 240-270whp at 8 PSI versus the GReddy kit.

That 14.5 psi spring is waaay high for you to run on a stock motor. Also, you have two different turbo's listed; the Innovative and a Garrett GT3076r. Call up Dezod and they will set you up with what you need.

Yeah, i'd stick with a 10lbs spring or 8lbs spring and a boost controller, or even a couple etra springs of different sizes, and Innovative and Garrett are 2 different turbos.
Also, .48a/r seems kinda small, at least for me.

yea lil mess up was looking, at ball bearing up grades and its for the turbonetics and the innovative, so minus the innovative ball bearing up grade and dropping it down to a 10.5 psi spring and changing the turbo to .63 A/R how does that sound on a stock engine?
And thinking of doing something like this with the boost controller
http://www.cardomain.com/member_page...05_45_full.jpg
The controller is a Blitz SBC i-Color Boost Controller.
Instead of this guy has blue and white I will do Black outer and red around the controller to match the car.

I say the GReddy is still quite pricey at 4.3 grand for my kit to be reliable and that still does not include a dyno tune session...

BTW: I'm not sure if it's reliable though, it's sitting in my garage close to my tCs hood, but there's one thing I know about the kit... (It's shiny and looks clean!)

You could probably have a turbo with 3grand if you go with a custom setup and have some hookups.
