Hey everyone I'm looking into getting the zzp turbo kit just want to know what kind of power everyone's making and how much psi max I could run on stock internals also want to know if there's any additional mods to help add power along with the turbo kit thanks!

Numbers are different
I made 260/270 whp/wtq at 10psi
Some people made ~300+ at 10psi
It depends on the tune.

Year of the engine will determine how much you can push it to.
Main mods to help would be rotated mount (save the axle)
And what some have done water/meth or E85, none of what I have done.

I plan on running with stock internals out of an 06 which I'm given to believe that is the strongest year so is 10 psi okay or would I have to run lower

10psi is good.
As mentioned before, is all in the tune. What will decided if the engine goes up or not.

Venomzson

Any other affordable kits you might recommend or is zzp the way to go

Other best bet is to piece the kit yourself.
There is other company but don't know how is their fitment.
Most have gone zzp. Get the cheapest version from them and customize it as you want.

Now another question is it worth the money? Like is it a massive difference?

It depends, what are your goals?
I like mine because is unique in a sense. Car is fun to drive and quite like a regular car (using LNF muffler, factory resonator and cat less dp).
I could easily bought a ss sedan, that's what I wanted and still want, but I don't want to get rid off the current one. End up deciding to get an engine build.
So for me, yeah it was worth it.
And from ~160whp to ~300 whp, the difference is there lol.

Venomzson

yeah I'm just looking for the best bang for my buck in terms of power increase because my other option was to do cams headers and intake but all in all that's around the same price as the turbo kit

For the turbo, unless you are able to piece it together then yes it is the best bang for the buck.

Venomzson

I have 2 ideas either buy the turbo kit. Or keep it n/a and do the headers cams and intake but I feel like turbo is a better idea

You are really limited keeping NA. Turbo, will give more room if in any case you want more power.

Venomzson

that's very true

- Boost controller
- Water/methanol injection or go E85.
- Cams


You must get a WBO2 regardless, no excuses

Anecdote, I watched one of those Farrah one take videos, it was some NA import car, sounded pretty dope but 'only' made around 300 whp. I think the shop owner built it for something like $60k, not sure if labor was guesstimated in that or if that is just parts/design/machining/fab cost.

If you want to stay NA and make actual power, then your most affordable mod is to go with a "Dual 4-cylinder" engine, aka V8. If you stick with 4-cylinders, forced induction is the most effective and most efficient way to add power. Also consider this: assume these two engines make the same power, what would cost more to repair/replace? A boosted stock engine or a fully built NA race engine?
