Info about turbo kits

agreed ^^^
He also said he wanted simplicity. Pure800 or 850 is simple as it gets!

so your statements are contradicting. You post a thread asking about the ams alpha turbo kit and asking about the reliablity of it but now say the kit has reliable parts and have a preference to them. And the pure800 is garbage. I am assuming you ran Pure on your previous builds before and have a ton of experience with them?

it seems like you made up your mind and don’t need any help or recommendation…: thread closed!

The thread is about the ams kit and if anyone has had experience with it as well as recommendations of other kit.

The pure 800 is made from the oem turbo compared to the Ams and other kits which utilize Garret turbos and other brands and im just more of a fan of that. My money my choice of parts

I also never called the pure 800 trash simply just said I’m not a fan and I like the reliability of Garret turbos as well as pte and other brands so please do not add words that I did not say. Even ZRK said my choice of not doing the 800 is fair.

and the point of the thread was to learn abt the ams turbo kit and maybe some alternatives. Ifsomething like the p2uned or boost logic kit is better then I’d gladly go with them.

I also talked about the simplicity of the ams kit but never said that I cared whether the install was simple or not as I will have a pro shop do this for me.

I’m here to learn not be criticized so if your input isn’t helpful then why even post it

im not a huge fan of the pure800. Plus most of the other kits come with some very reliable parts so I have a preference to them

I’m looking to get between 650-700 whp

I know I have to upgrade the transmission but I want to do other components first before jumping down that rabbit hole.

most of the turbo kits I saw and like were around 6-7k so I guess I’m somewhere around that for a kit.

My two cents but If I had done this all over again, I would have invested in the transmission first before the big major upgrades. The downtime for the trans rebuild sucks but once you get that over with, you can go hard on the build.

My shit was slipping with just a downpipe, tune and E50 and I found out the hard way when I went pure800 and was pushing some numbers and my trans kept going right into drivetrain malfunction mode.

Ah I see thanks for the info.

Pure solutions has come out with a stage 0 upgrade and I’m kind of interested in that.

did you upgrade the converter as well or no?

Why not go with the CTS turbo? Seems much more affordable for your goals. Shoot me a DM and we can go over some options if interested.

Bottom line... id look past the ams kit though.

Oh damn is there that big of an issue with the ams kit? Never knew

Hey man! I support your Go To turbo kit which is AMS. Whats good about it is they integrated the OEM E wastegate. Thats a good plus on turbo kit which can be set in while tuning. Compare to some other kit with regular wastegate they are controlled by springs and you would have to change them always to change boost psi. Now with E wastegate, you can still pretty much use most stockish supra stuff like burble tune, map switch etc.

Issue is value imo. Way too overpriced. If you want to spend that kind of money P2uned kit for sure. I can get you set up with either kit though.

If you’re following AMS you know their quality is one of the best and they’re not afraid of making thousands of WHP on other chassis too! GTR’s, R8’s Infinities etc etc.

Though there are other turbo kits in market too it depends on your budget.
CTS Turbo kit, pure turbo etc

AMS definitely makes quality products but you have to admit they hit it a bit hard with the supra tax for what the kit is.

I kind of agree with this.

I think it’s the German car tax because parts for my g82 are outrageous

 

[the superminator]

The new GMS turbo kit looks nice, I got a good price on it and thinking about that. AMS makes top quality parts though.

 

[zrk]

The only thing AMS about the kit is the exhaust mani. Keep that in mind.
