I'm happy now that HKS through Evasive Motorsport are going to start selling kits starting Mid April!
Just haven't made up my mind between turbo or Supercharger route yet.
Like I said just a car enthusiast and well I want induction now lol :happy0180:

Sigh, Greddy, HKS, and Blitz are taking forever because they can't make a kit that competes with what is available already at the same price. Not to mention the fact that all you get when you buy those brands is a name...it's already been proven that those companies aren't really making any kind of gains woth the amount of money the parts cost. But there will always be the fan boys/girls who will swear by the products and pay whatever they ask for some reason that i can't for the life of me understand.

I hope whatever route you takes works for you.  |
Funny, I bought my turbo kit in October, installed it in January and not once was a guinea pig, even though I had the second P&L motorsports kit installed on a car. If you want quality you can't really say that there arent any quality products out there. I won't speak for other kits but mine was 100% bolt on with zero cutting or non-reversible work. I have V-band clamps for the turbo, Tial wastegate/BOV, ceramic coated headers and downpipe, and all my IC piping is coated in a flawless red crinkle coating. On top of that i was supplied with a replacement oil pan with the drain bung already welded on and painted, an upgraded fuel pump, Deatchweks injectors, etc, etc.
I think the issue is that some people are so stuck on the idea that Made in Japan somehow is better than Made in the USA when it comes to imports...hate to say it but the old guard of Greddy, HKS, Blitz, and whoever else have been in the game for a while aren't all that special. You pay a premium for them for no other reason than name recognition. Kinda like buying Jordan's...which by the way are decent Basketball shoes, but cost more than the equivalent Adidas or Reeboks basketball shoes that are just as good if not better, because of the name.
