Im looking for some peoples opinions on what to run for a turbo kit and what fuel management to go with it in my full drift/race 95 240. I have done alot of research and have been looking into the the greddy kit. the cheapest i could find it was $2700 and that dosent include a intercooler. I also found a turbo kit at advancedjdmparts.com which has everything you need but lacks injectors or fuel management. I found AEM EMS for $1700 and on ebay i found a top mount fuel rail with higher cc injectors for $450. Total for the advancedjdm kit with aem ems and top mount injectors its like $3000. Is it a good idea to buy a off brand kit like that, or should i just stick with greddy and buy a ebay intercooler?

You don't NEED to go with an expensive/complete kit. IMO its cheaper to piece everything together, and you get to be more picky as to which parts all come together in the end.

Everyone knows what they want, so do research on here and other sites, then go for picking out parts.

U should do some research on here, go to the search button and type in turbo kit or turbo manifold and you should be able to find alot more options. Companies to choose from are:AMS, Fullrace, Neukin, JGS, ETD, IAP, Treadstone, Revhard, and maybe one or two more. You don't nec. need the EMS, sure it would be nice to have but many have used a tuned ecu and afc to fine tune(myself included) it is a cheaper route to help u save money to put towards something else. Also if ur not going with 96 lbs injectors theres really no need to upgrade to a topfeed rail and mess with all that crap. The greddy kit is alright but for the money u can put together alot better performing kit. If u need more help than this email me and I'll give u a full list of whats needed. Also what are ur power goals?
