Doesnt say what turbo the 2nd kit comes with.

we've only said it about a thousand times, the PTI kit is better. better customer service, PTI has more kits on the road for longer and with more reliability, etc.

are you gonna buy a kit or keep making threads about them for the next few years?

It depends how long it takes you to stop being a dick to people, just honnest question but you gotta come down and bash on us noobs...

you've been here since january, made every one of your posts askign a repetitive question or not searching around and reading around.

the time to be nice to you has ENDED.

start doing your OWN research.

What turbo comes with the second kit? What are your goals?

Having us tell you what we think is irrelevant unless we know what you are expecting to gain from your setup. I think you need to figure out what is important to you in terms of cost, power potential, and power delivery and then make a decision. Until then you are just asking the same question over and over.

Not trying to be a dick here just trying to actually help you rather than just give you a worthless opinion.

Alright, I want to get around 270 whp, but the reason why I was asking is that some people didn't like the ssr engineering one, and I was trying to see if it was the same deal here, for some reason I thought that the ssr was cheaper that's why I wanted to get it but it turns out is a little more expensive, so unless it'll guarantee more power then the pti I won't buy it.

it doesn't matter what turbo kit guarantees more power man. You need to get that in your head.

the QR isn't safe beyond 280whp. Period. Both kits can make that.

PTI has the best customer service, bar none. best quality materials, best instructions, and best bunch of shops that do their installs.

if you're on any other forum than this one, you've read exactly what I'm telling you.

cheaper is not better.
