Is the greddy turbo kit worth it?
i am really thinking about getting the greddy turbo kit for my car, and i can c it runs about $3200 for the kit and i was wondering if its really worth it. It only has like 6psi, is there ways to get it more with not to heavy of modding. If so like what, im kinda new with all this turbo stiff, i want to go faster.

$3510.00 is the magic number. if you can get the greddy kit for less than that then do it.
if not, just get the MM/BHR kit that is basically the greddy kit with the MM upgrade and the accessport as the management.
but like i said, if its below the majic number you can get the kit and upgrade it for cheeper

The Greddy kit by itself is just not worth it at any price. The MM/BHR upgrade/complete kit is just so much of a better solution. It fixes the shortcomings of the standard kit. I really have to ask, if you are cutting corners on a turbo kit, then you might as well start saving for a new engine. Better to spend some more money up front, than a lot more money on the back end.

Please start by reading the "sticky" content and the threads below them. There's no reason to start a new thread for a question (asked numerous times) that you can easily decide for yourself.
Other members have gone out of their way to bring the info you need to make that decision. There's alot of filler you have to wade through, however there's also alot of good info. Here's two links to get you started...
When you read through those two and you're ready for more, try this one:

it's made for 6 psi and it will do that to redline.
you can increase the boost, and that will give you gains, but at around 7200 rpm, the engine demands more air and the psi will drop back down to 6.
the greddy also generates more heat than if you had a higher flow turbo like MM's.
the biggest drawback to the stock greddy kit is the turbo itself. journal bearings on the turbo seems to give out and die after 12k miles or so, with or without an oil restrictor.
