Driftmotion for sure, Kaizen.

If you are only looking for 300whp, I'd stick with the stock twins. With BPU, tuned ECU, and simple fuel upgrades will get you there easily.

I'm gonna have to go with DriftMotion or Kaizen. Jarco and JHot and those guys are cool, but support the forum vendors and go with Aaron at DM or Jose at Kaizen. Tell em "The Jag" sent you.

Edit: 935 Motorsports will do the work, but they don't import.

is it realistic to get around 360 whp with an aftermarket ecu (blitz access to be exact), intercooler, intake, y pipe, and full exhaust (no cat) at 18 psi?

I don't know anything about the twins, but I've read that most people don't boost them more than 14psi for a long period of time. I think if you boost them more then they start to tear up. I'm sure someone will chime in here in a minute that actuall knows something.

You might want to reconsider the astigracing recommendation...............:biglaugh:

I just read a whole thread and it seems they aren't very dependable according to two of our members. I think Jake handled the situation perfectly.........as usual.

EDIT: I read where this isn't the place to tell where not to buy, but I feel it is just as important. Please don't hate me because I"m beautiful.............:biglaugh:
