i would stay away from slowboyracing and wouldnt go with a non ball bearing turbo first off. secondly why dont you drop the extra cash and get a good reputable companys turbo kit. like ets, ams, buschur etc.

two threads in a row trying to make power on the cheap. why not just save up until you can afford proven parts. do it right the first time its cheaper.

Yeah you have a point, but I want more power than a green and they say red has lag issues.
IDK, any other suggestions guys? Thanks for the help so far by the way.

Everything I need as far as supporting mods....255lph fp, 1000cc inj, full exhaust, FMIC, 272 cams, intake and piping for IC, BOV as well and Boost controller. I've decided on those it's the turbo that im having trouble deciding on....i kinda don't wanna usethe stock turbo manifold, but everyone here seems to say go with the FP red. So IDK what to go with.
