I started with the atp kit anden honestly anything but the 2554 will disappoint you as to spool. My was so disapointing I shelled out for another turbo kit. I wish I would have went [MENTION=1098]DHM[/MENTION] from the start.

I guess time will tell. Power goals for now would be stage 2 and tune + , rmm and cbe . I know cbe does nothing but I need some sound lol. If and when the stock turbo dies , I will decide between cyborg, puma or DHM . 300+whp on pump would be nice but I wouldn't mind 280-290whp and like 330 tq.

I want a big turbo kit for my little fiesta so bad. it is terrible. I have the money, the money is no issue. But the $6000 ring I just bought for my girlfriend, and the fact that we are getting a house stops me. Sometimes being an adult can suck and having priorities are no fun neither. The worse part is the girlfriend, soon to be fiance even approves of me spending the money and buying the kit...but I just cannot bring myself to do it.
I hear ya man . Got married almost 2 years ago bought a house and having a new born coming in August! Wait till you have kids lol. I have a PP credit and reg credit . PP credit it's max out . Need to pay it down just to sneak a Big IC and piping and cbe lol. Being an adult do suck lol. A year from now I will be selling our house and moving to Illinois because my wife family from there and she wants to move back. I'm 31 not getting any younger haha

ATP GT2554R is 265-270whp on premium and 290whp+ on E30 and is the most affordable option.

I am having mine installed next weekend.
For 270whp on junk gas... I agree with Butterybunz.

For more money, you can do
Better.

If your willing to have the correct supporting mods and E85 mixes, then 270whp is possible with other smaller setups that offer better response.

Not trying to talk anyone into or out of a setup, but 270whp on crappy gas isn't going to be super easy with a small turbine housing.
The Gt2554 gives you the compressor you need with a turbine housing that isn't held back by the stock limits.

Yup, we have been together for over 7 years, so I figured its about time. Plus I spent another 2 grand on vacation just to ask her to marry me. Hahaha, I went from making shitty money last year to making decent money this year, more than tripled my pay so I figured I would go all out. I am only 26, and not getting younger neither, believe me. Kids.....Oh my, I am far from ready for them. I want to enjoy my money while I can haha. Depending on how things good my bonus is next month I will be getting the turbo kit anyway!

15, quick, before you get married, build your dream car. Men marry assuming their girl will stay the same, Women marry assuming they can change their guy. Both parties are wrong.
HAHAH I love how this went from 270whp goals to relationship advice!

28 single, 10 years military, and have expansive hobbies. I'll stay where I'm at.

contact them through facebook, if you go through their shopping cart the core charge is $1027.17. All I said was I'm interested in purchasing a X-37 and when will it be available. They offered me a core charge of 250 pounds (gonna need to go through current exhange rate for USD). When I purchased my turbo they had 3 on shelf, I know they got at least 1 being worked on since my old turbo got to them this week [cool]
Highly recommend getting the turbo inlet as well, they fab it and install it before shipping the unit. All together took about 17 days and only 3 days to reach my door once boxed.

Hope this helps

I sold my car but would still recommend the ATP 2554, Could you post the results with the smoothing set at 3 which is more realistic? This Turbo does look good but also drops off really quick after 6k.

hahaha. That is to funny, we are not getting married until 2018, so I have some time. Like I said before, I have the money literally sitting in a dresser drawer just for the turbo kit, I just cant bring my self to buy it. I will feel really shitty if I spend 4 grand on the turbo kit, and then a month later we get our house, and I have to withdraw from my savings. I hate doing that. Plus that is 4 grand less I have to spend for the house. The girlfriend even was OK with me buying it....That is the killer haha
