i love the turbo kit, i run 6 psi right now, but im getting a profec b soon so ill prollly run 8psi then. yah i can beat most GSRs with bolt ons, but i did race one and we were dead even. So i guess it all depends on the car and driver. btw this shop is fully capable of installing turbo kits too. any questions about my car are welcome. peace
