Hey what's up guys I've been building my sr powered 180sx (s13 blacktop)for sometime and ive gotten to the turbo part of my upgrades list and I was wondering if you guys could help me out, I'm looking to upgrade to a top mount turbo and Prostreet motor sports has a PeakBoost Turbo Kit that I am considering....

PeakBoost Nissan SR20DET Turbo Kit

The PeakBoost SR20DET Turbo Kit comes with the following:

PeakBoost SR20DET topmount manifold (LIFETIME WARRANTY) PeakBoost 3" stainless SR20DET downpipe PeakBoost stainless steel 38mm dumptube Garrett T3/TO4E Turbocharger of your choice TiAL 38mm wastegate Application Specs Part # Price Nissan Universal PS-PBNISPDALA $2349.00

Its a little on the pricy side but I wont be getting it for that much because I know the owner (John) at prostreet really well and I have been going to him for all my parts...

Already on my car:Stock turboGreddy FMICGreddy RS BOVGreddy Intake maniZ32 MAFHKS Valve SpringsHKS 272/272Cometic Head GasketAll new Gaskets and sealsARP HeadstudsP&P HeadSAFC Neo

Do you guys think its a good HP to Price ratio?

To be honest there is no reason to get a bigger turbo setup until you have the fuel system (injectors.... assuming you have an upgraded fuel pump.) to match the airflow. So I would add injectors and a ROM tune or standalone unit to your list.

I plan on buying my injectors when I figure out what turbo I'm going to get and yes i have a walbro pump...
