hahn turbo

is it worth saving up the $4k-ish to put on? what supporting mods are recommended to go with it? if its worth the money, ill save for it and sell stock parts in my basement. ive got a hood, brand new (300miles) ss polished wheels, etc. lemme hear some feedback so i can order stuff before christmas arrives...

You can put your own kit together a lot cheaper

custom kits have been known to have custom problems

however, get the list of the parts in hahn's kit and try recreating it from scratch

Depending who installs it you can have those same problems with the hahn kit.

kit used to be cheaper....its a rip off...and the tune isnt even that good(at least it wasnt).....you can by this kit without tuning and get it tuned and still come out ahead in cash....save your money and buy the garret kit and youl be alot happier. only reason its so expensive is because there isnt another guaranteed kit out that is proven to be effective...basically hahn has a monopoly on turbos for the 2.4 because no one else does

custom kits have custom problems when the person making the kit doesnt know what theyre doing and screws up. good luck with hahn

In all honesty, it's a great kit. Very good quality parts in that kit, you can do cheaper custom, but it can be a hassle at times.

the hahn kit will give you a tune to start off of and then you can tweak it as needed. I would say to get the 60# injectors right away and go to 11 psi like me if you are getting a custom tune cuz the car can handle it.
