[birdman]

bird man...go to the Forced Induction Section and spend some time reading.

search for:

Spool Turbo
FM / Flyin Protege
Hiboost
Wagner
Modern Performance
Essential Speed

This is not the type of investment that you should be relying on such a general post nor on the advice of those that reply to this post.

Honestly, wait a year.
No one has been running these levels of boost for long yet. IN a year we should be able to tell exactly what these kits can do in the long run.

The HiBoost kit is been running at 8psi for more than 8 months now. With occassional 10-12 psi track runs.

And this is a daily driver that has accumulated 8000 miles during that time?

 

[Pirana]

it is a daily driver.

Wagner's seems appealing to me since I live 40 minutes away and could have them install it....too bad its $3600 and probably a lot more for installation .

Hiboost takes the punch in bang for buck and the safest system i've seen on the market so far.

Will all the turbo kits mentioned work on ES sedans? Seems all the sites just list MP5s, MP3s, and MSPs as applications...

Most will fit, its simply the intercooler placement that is the problem. I t will most likely require some trimming for proper fitment.

 

[Pirana]

Probably not, since it fits perfect under the bumper support and does not protude ovet the bumper mask.
