After hearing from a few meth powered 9 turbo owners and seeing the power graphs I purchased my snow meth kit. It would be the most cost effective way for you to reach big power. My vote is for the meth kit.

I don't see why not. I would just make sure you use the same dyno so you can see the benefits. The numbers will depend on the boost you run. Usually you see 370-400whp and close to 400trq. Again it depends on the boost level, especially with the torque numbers. If you let it spike to 28psi or more, figure 400trq+

The biggest gains will be down low and in the midrange. Up-top will be noticeable but the turbo can only hold do much.

Well it sounds like meth it is. I wish I could afford both, but it can't happen now. I kept hearing about the Aquamist H5? I think and figured meth kits were the same as long as it has a fail safe included. Also I plan on running pump gas, so it sounds like meth is the way to go. Now by installing this, cams, LICP is there anything else I would need like ARP head studs? Thanks again. I'll do more research on Snow Vs. Aquamist.

sorry for my ignorance, but where do you get the meth(not the kit). Is it at the pump or what? And how's the mpg running meth?

I hope you know that you only use Meth under WOT conditions so there's no "mpg running meth" change... except that your WOT mpg make decrease due to lead foot usage...

I say meth kit and turbo after you've done more things and max out the turbo, **** I'll take the 9 turbo off your hands.

Seriously though I've only had my aquamist kit for a week and I'm already addicted

Turbo and if you don't rebuild and just buy a new turbo, sell your old one to a nice gentleman with an Evo VIII. They would really appreciate it, because they are still amazing pieces.
