Who's 50 Trim Should I go with?

I have decided to upgrade my IX's Turbo to a 50 Trim and I am not sure who's to go with. I know I want one of the best and from what I have read that's BR or AMS, but one of these has to be better than the other. Or maybe one is more streetable than the other, I don't know... Any help on this would be great.

The BR unit would probably work the best being that it leaves room to afford injectors and a FMIC where as the AMS kit is $1,300 more. I also like the cast manifold, I bet it spools it faster being thermal coated and iron so it'll hold the heat better and shorter runners. Not to mention it is LOW key, it even house the OEM heat sheild.

you might also check out the 50 trim kit that TurboTrix has to offer, they're kits are very nice quality and not too pricy. Worked perfect for me and many other people, just check their forum.

I would wait for some results on the S200 50 Tirim results. Thats what I plan on using on my IX if it shows good results. It supposed to be better that the old school 50 trim turbos. The Older 50 trims still rock no matter what.

I don't know if i would go with the Buschur kit because they never posted the results on the forum. They talked all about making it and putting it on but never said anything about the power it made on a car.
There may be another thread on here somewhere that I'm not a where of but I haven't seen it.

I dont even think they have the turbo that they are going with yet! Buschurracing is a very good place! But I went with AMS because its proven that the turbo has the performance. Props to both companies!!!!!!!

It's really hard to Fuck up a 50 Trim Kit. RNR tried once with a NON BB 50 Trim and a poor excuse for a manifold being NON equal length which was an poor weld job AND rough edges on the internal runners; it looked liek it was made from a swing set. The Turbo was ONLY oil cooled too, real chapo 02 Housing which looked like 2 Soda cans welded together with toothe past and then common ordinary bolts REALLY cheply welded to the 02 housing, and he STILL made 420WHP on a MAF.

It's a kick *** turbo. If you have the Funds, go AMS, if you don't care about the bling, go Buschur, it'll work just as well and cost $1,300 less.
