The RnR manifold is the toughest tubular manifold I have ever seen hands down. It is my first choice. After the RnR kit, I really like the AMS kit. Both RnR and AMS have happy customers and are friendly and helpful.

I would go with the Turbo Trixx kit, EXCELENT MANIFOLD and spoolup not to mention the power delivery is amazing but I live so close that I will get a perfect tune and if anything goes wrong, well their Customer Service is SOOOOO Good that it'll be fixed, so I Vote TT.


Not BAD MOUTHING ANY COMPANY, but a turbo kit is ONLY as god as the Company that backs it.

It is the best spooling Gt35r kit around, not fastest spooling turbo of course when compared to a GT30 or smaller. I was getting full boost in 3rd gear by 4100-4200 rpm's, but 10psi by 3300-3500rpms. The best part of this turbo is that it builds boost smoothly and very progressively, no hard hit of boost, instead a huge rush of constantly increasing pull.

I have the turbotrix kit and it is phenominal. Spool is good, and power is absoluetly violent.

Great, I just don't want to get a beast that spools to late for street sprints or road racing.

Well the gt35r is certainly not a stoplight to stoplight turbo. You will get smoked by a lot of slower cars. Once you get on boost though it is rather fun. It is all about what you care about. I don't mind the lag and am still able to slaughter mear motal cars just rolling off the line to get that spot before the lane merges I usually don't care if they get it though so that is not very important to me.

Greddy is very good also! I wouldn't buy the T67 but TD06 20G or 25G.
The Turbos last much longer than the BB turbos.
I had 2 Greddy turbo kits already and they were just great!

Actually we've had INCREDIBLE longevity with the Garret GT series ball bearing turbos. I would trust one over a bushing turbo anyday. Don't let the old Turbonetics single ball bearing turbos leave a bad taste in your mouth.

I can't think of a Better Daily Driving Setup then the Turbo Trixx Turbo Kit, BB and a 50Trim, there is no better PUMP GAS Daily driving turbo for a 2.0 Engine. WONT make the most power but w ill make the power you want with the spool you want. This may be teh kit I will get, plus it will work well with the Stock ECU and a flash. It is a LIL too much money but maybe I can get a Deal on it. But you hvae to pay for that Beautiful Manifold, its so nice, and the Turbo is BB, stuff costs money, RNR kit has a less complicated Manifold and now BB option, which is why it is $1000 cheaper.

I have the 35r kit and it can be a stoplight turbo... depends on how you drive it and how it's tuned. I have had the sickest launches with this turbo, spool up is great.

I would go with the AMS kit, the build quality, results and customer service outshines the competition by far.

On the person asking on Al's AMS turbo, he is I believe pushing out 659awhp. He had the 3037s that I bought from him he put down 550 or so. He just swapped turbo kit for turbo kit, nothing else and upped 100hp.

I have the same kit compressor is .7 a/r Maybe with cams I will see better spool up. It isn't bad, but I just am not a launcher on the street. I can waste 99% of whats out there without launching anyway.
