Most cost affective turbo kits for LSJ?

I have been trying to do research on whats cheaper with good quality. I see Hahn the most. I thought ZZP had a twin charge kit but don't see it on their site. Who is running what?

KangolRiot, I believe, was running that. He sold the car.

THIS. and a change like that, dont expect it to be so cheap. you want good quality for a turbo set up on your lsj. both hahn and zzp are great. zzp's setup been fas ruperior.

hahn is good, but its way over priced. I had it before and i cant complaint, but with zzp's kit theres just more room for more power and the quality is just unbeatable.

check out the turbo lsjs thread. You'll find both setups, custom setups, and any kind of turbo setup on the lsj is there.

i had the lvl5 hahn Kit and had many problems with hahn not wanting to work with me. unfinished welds on the intake manifold runners. manifold kept cracking in the same place several times. something happened with the internal wasegate and the turbo would push 30lbs randomly. pretty sure thats what blew my engine. hahn said nothing was wrong with the turbo when i sent it to them and i changed the hose running from the wase gate solenoid to the compressor side of the turbo where it got its positive pressure from. Im going with ZZP all the way this time for a turbo kit.

Cheapest route would be piece a used kit together but I would just go ZZP because you know everything is going to fit right. I'm not turbo but just my 2cents.

That's hardly a kit and chinese turbos are pieces of crap.

Ryan takes a lot of pride in our kits and they are the best on the market.
