Search and you'll find a billion posts about each engine's pros and cons. And, everyone has their own opinion. So, you need to form your own from research.

well it'll depend on what ur power goals are and how diligent of a shopper u are along with maybe if u know anyone that can get u an SR. if ur looking for some more hp than a stock 240, both routes will get u to where u want. obviously it depends on what u want the car to do power wise and of course how deep ur wallet is. i will say that u should just keep an eye on all the threads that come thru this section and the sr section so as to gauge what u want. u said u had an sr already so what made it blow? also are u mechanically inclined? if so, then u shouldnt have any issues with a ka-t project given u have the right components. hope this helps

thank well im looking for about min 300 whp then money is not a prob i will just keeping saveing im not in a big rush just at least soemthing i can work on the car my self with my friends so im good with that but just dont realy kno how to start the whole project i just heard about the KA-T from a friend and was realy interested i realy dont want to buy a SR agian my friend boosted the turbo to mutch and it blew i didnt even kno because we both was working on the car and it was at his house he put in his boost controler and never but it back to stock and i went to go launch and it blew so the SR is out and he just baught me a new KA so i will be fine. Plus i heard that the KA-T was cheaper and can be as fast or even faster so i just decided that i will try this out.But can u please tell me were i can start like wat would be the ideal turbo to get that wont realy mess up my motor beacuse i cant go threw another blown turbosry for writing so mutch

and what do you think the cost of everything would be around?

[Jookmasta]

the total cost will vary from setup to setup. if ur looking for a kit, by far IAP is a great kit to start with. the only thing u would need is bigger injectors and an SAFC and u would be nearing the 300whp mark safely pending on what ur timing is at. if ur looking to piece together a kit, thats a whole different story. research on what mani u want; this will be the biggest decision IMO. the turbo usually seems to be a t3/t4oe 50 trim and a .63 a/r exhaust housing. unless ur picky about when ur turbo spools, that is usually the suggested turbo.

[Wraith 240]

iaght i think i will get the IAP i think is the kit everything like the turbo Z32 MAFS ect.

[Wraith 240]

ok i found it itz about 5,000 dollars so im iaght thatz kool end every thing i will get that then thx alot just need to wait for the 27 thx alot
