are the turbo kits on turbo-kits.com good?? I have a 328 and they say that the turbo that they have works on my car, but i dont know if it would be safe... it is much cheaper than other turbo kits i've seen for my car so if someone has some info, that would be great.

i dunno, but i was actually looking at the m3 turbo kit they offered. everyone else is too damn expensive (i.e. active autowerke, cartech to name a few)

true...but wait until boostlogic and technique tuning(already out) comes out with there turbo kits. AA is then going to have some steep competition. Boostlogic still has their turbo kits in the works and there is already a turbo kit out for 96-99 m3s i believe thru technique tuning. NickG hasn't put out a 95 turbo kit yet. I dunno what hes wait for...haa. But for the 96-99 turbo kit its only $6800. Compare that to the 8700 that aa wants. Goodluck with your choice...thats all the info i have for you now. -Mike

If you really want to save money, research and find how to get/have your own kit fabricated. You'll just have to buy certain things seperately (turbo, wastegate, etc..), and then have piping custom made. This you could potentialy end up a paying lot less expensive than pre-made kits. A lot of the those kits out that you see are probably an extreme amount less than what you pay.

I've seen certain BMW's that are 600+ horsepower and have spent less than 8000 thousand for kit, and standalone engine management (2,000-3,000). I have a friend that has put together kits for Neon's, Imprezza's and other four bangers that produce 400 to 500 plus hp for 3-4 grand.
