I dunno, if its going to take you til June to buy a Turbo, I would definitely go ahead and get it chipped now. GIAC+BPV.

And now I'm contemplating K04 PC16 (J31 for 2001?) or going all out for my dream numbers of 400+HP/LBFT from a GT35 eliminator kit.

I'm thinking and hoping my 99.5 is a good platform for 400+HP/LBFT on 93 octane and I'd rather "do it right the first time."

very simple;

If you want some power without any problem and cost you less ---> Go with chip, or no more than basic k04 setup

You want more and more power and wanna spend more money, you are ready to handle all kind of problems, you are ready to be without your car because it dies on you without any reason then you want some BT setup! go with BT setup.

thanks for the tip

I forgot bout the k04.

thats more me, something little more than stock but not outrageous

I did a quick search on google and found the kits to be $2400!!!! thats a GT28RS range......

I searched for the turbo alone and its $725 shipped

If i recall correctly all it is to k04 is k04 turbo and software right?? (GiAC)??

and whats the chp/whp and ctq/wtrq on it??

he told me the same thing which is the best way togo if you are going to keep the car for a while also your car will be a monster almost 300hp!!!

Standard b5 k04 giac file is rated at 235 bhp. Good luck with 300 hp. Not possible. Maybe 300 lb ft of torque.
