Buschur Racing or Extreme Turbo Systems Turbo Kit (35R)?

Since joining the site I have read and heard that both Buschur Racing and Extreme Turbo Systems are both very reputable companies that supply some of the highest quality parts out there. I have decided that I want to go with either the BR GT35R w/ Tubular Manifold Kit or the ETS T3 Turbo Kit (35R), but I can't decide on which one to go with. This decision is holding me up from purchasing other supporting mods that I would like to get first. All advice/info/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thats an awesome dilemma to have....which 35R to get.

Yes, they're both reputable with quality parts...ETS is probably a little cheaper...go with whichever one looks better

Thanks for the info, I'll shoot you an e-mail today, probably after work though.

IMO i would go with the AMS 35r kit insted of the BR kit, no offence it is a really good kit from what i've seen. But im a fan of AMS and their parts are outstanding!

So you spend an extra $4 grand over a buschur kit and will get a "supposadly" quicker spool up with the twin-scroll and probably not much more overall power than a buschur or ams kit, if at all?

I dont see the logic in this....but maybe i dont know anything

I agree that deciding on which 35R kit to get is not a bad place to be

Here's a picture of what all we include for $3490. In addition to what the other kit includes, you get a complete intake system and lower intercooler pipe that bolts directly to stock and ALL stock replacement intercoolers at no charge. Couple that with a proven turbocharger and equal length tubular manifold that we build in house and it's really an unbeatable value. The manifold, turbo, lines, o2 housing and wastegate all come pre-assembled to make it an easy job for you or your shop.

The best news about our kits is not the shop or sponsored car numbers which we do have, but that our customers almost always make the same or more power than we do with the kits. My personal car which isn't anything all that amazing, has made 598whp on 30psi with our 35R kit which has been done several more times by our customers. Sure we've got a 900+whp car that costs several thousand dollars a month to keep running at the track but I have a feeling that you're planning on actually driving yours. You can plan to meet or exceed what we do on a regular basis with your car. No let downs here!

if you think you are going to be fully spooled on any 35r by 4,000 rpms you are surely mistaken maybe you are getting mixed up with a 50 trim or something. but for the price you can not beat the buschur kit w/ the cast manifold. i really like that setup and wish i had the money right now.in the beggining i was really skeptical about buschurs kit but i have really seen some awesome results and have talked to people who have ran that kit for 25k+ miles with any issues some with 40k on the turbo kit!!!! thats results to me if anything is.once again thank you to buschur racing for always engineering top notch parts with an eye on affordability.i have never heard 1 bad thing about them from anyone.they have really impressed me.
