So this is the plan i buy/install the kit now and by next summer i am thinking about upgrading the internals(pistons, rods, etc.) I'm looking at getting a turbo kit from tk.com and i am debating between which turbo to pick. GT28RS or GT2871R?(the car is dd and will not be tracking or anything just looking to make the ride funner:D and not alot of hp just anything close to 300 is good for me) what are the advantages and disadvantages of these turbos?

Im not positive, but I'm preatty sure that you are going to blow your sh*t right up trying to get 300whp on stock internals. I dont think that it is even possible with stock injectors and fuel pump....might wanna check up on the FAQs like Smay is saying.

What are your overall HP goals, end game? That will dictate the turbo to choose. Let us know, thanks :)

my end goal is anything close to 300hp but on the stock motor would be would be what it can handle maybe about 230hp or lower, whatever is safe.

this is the kit i'm looking at

^ hmm, I believe this kit has been sold ready several times... it's always this broken harness which has been damaged from a dog... :AF:
