Im still learnign about turbos and setups n what not but Im just curious what everyone else would think of.....budget wise too ..not tooo much money but yeah...

im a hahn person so ill tell you that side..

16g or 20g turbo.
440cc injectors
vortech sfmu

either way, youre going to spend a lot of money.. the hrc turbos spool the quickest at 3800 rpm.

My suggestion would be to look at what everyone around here has and look at what they have done with it. I had the HRC kit on my 420 and loved it. I have seen several guys with star kits run low 13s with stock internals. I think if I had it to do over again I would have went with the star. Although if your a newbie and don't really know that much you might want to think about the fact that Hahn offers unmatched tech support on thier products. It's really a matter of give and take.

I will fess up for the star side although I'm nowhere near a kit level anymore. I would reccomend the star because you will have more power for the money. The turbo spools later than the hahn being it's a t3/t4, but once your bitten by the boost bug and you want to make serious power you won't have to switch turbos. The star directions are sub par at best, but I just used the directions from the Hahn kit. I now have a sand alone 4 extra injector fuel system and lots of other goodies but I do not regret the path I took. The star is cheaper and can throw down more HP from the start so that's why I went that way.

If you want a faster spooling turbo than go with a Garrett GT28 or a 16g if you want a lots of HP a t3/t4 or GT30 will do. but it aill all depond on what you want in the long run plan for the furture. Don't end up buying a turbo that you don't want in the long run. make up your mind now so you will save money in the long run.
