Default thoughts on this turbo kit.

what are your thoughts on this. for 3299.95

turbonetics kit

turbonetics t3/t4 hyrbid turbo.spearco intercooler and pipes, manifold, downpipe, raptor blowoff valve, evolution wastegate, lucas 440cc injectors with preprogrammed injector driver, map sensor and wiring harnass, msd boost timing control, K&N air filter, flex-pipe, fuel and vent lines, hardware, instructions.

i dont know the details on anything else so if your wondering what brand name manifold and such :dunno: .

sounds like a complete kit to me. i never heard of one with map sensor and stuff or is it just normal include and they just mention it to sell it.?

Custom kit or F-MAX with some stuff thrown in?

First thing I'd throw out is that injector driver.

96 gsr approx 92k for miles on it.
i saw this kit in summiot racing. i dont know how much i trust it though.
i was looking at drag or revhard (think thats it) some other kit. greddy is way too expensive but is most direct bolt on right?

The question is, how much power do you want to make?

Do a compression test and go from there.

Turbonetics bought out F-Max so this is probably an updated F-Max kit.

I'd get a Drag or RevHard and then add injectors and some electronic means of tuning it.

you know nothing, and you just proved it to me.
