49529, Which turbo kit
Posted by rbenard, May-26-03 03:46 PM
Ok I would like to know what is the best. Hahn or Star. I saw at nopi.com a turbo kit that looked good. Tell me if this is good or if there is something better.

first of all, dont ask other people which is the best kit.. it leads no where.. do the research by searching forums.. secondly.. don't buy a hahn kit from nopi.. buy it from hahn

I agree. If you are going HRC, buy direct.

Here are two vendors for STAR.

Hahn...no Star....nah skip that - go custom...no wait a minute - Supercharge it!

j/k man :+ It's the only question that's taboo on this site

Seriously though, there's plenty of information about both kits on this site. In general(big picture here) they are fundamentally identical - bolt on turbo kits that use a high rising rate fuel pressure regulator to supply fuel for boost. Thats where the similarity ends...they use different turbos, fuel system components, IC, etc. There are quirks about either one. Both will give you boost. If you really want to know whats best for you then do some resarch about both kits. I can't stress enough that there is a TON of information about both kits on this site...and if you have a question about a particular aspect of either kit there are a TON of people around here that can help you out.

When it comes right down to it - In the long run the better kit is either:
a)the kit you bought
or
b)what you make of the kit you bought.

...cause we all know it doesn't stop after you buy the kit :thumbsup
