Default Turbo Upgrade Recomendations?

I want, nay, NEED a faster car, but Im still up in the air as to what kit to buy. Ive done some research on the forums and all Ive come up with is this:

1. AWE K04- Cheap, reliable, but not the highest horsepower output

2.PES T28- cheap, VERY UNRELIABLE, pretty much not an option b/c I wouldnt have a working engine for long

3.APR 280 hp kit, not cheap, very reliable and the most powerful of the group. I still dont understand however why they hoisted the price by a thousand bucks.

Any others I should consider or missed? I need some guidance on this issue and my main concern is power and RELIABILITY, thanks in advance for your help.

Default Depends what kind of power you want.

If you just want your car to be pretty fast on the street then i would go with a ko4 kit.

Default What's your goal? What's your budget? How is your mechanical skill?

If you want power AND reliability, APR is pretty much the way to go, but it can still have problems if not installed properly.

Keep in mind, an aftermarket exhaust is almost considered mandatory, so factor that into the price if you don't already have it.

Default FP3065. Have someone build you a custom manifold and downpipe. Done.
