TT v. ST v. SC
Ok, I'm still new to the boards so if this has been discussed you may start the flaming now
I just got my 03 AT coupe and would really like to know where to channel my money in the next few months. I would like to get the most bang for my buck but from reading about turbos (which I really wanted to go for) i see the extras in computers, dyno tuning, and other "little" things makes it high maintence and expensive.
I assume this would be the same with ST, maybe a little cheaper start-up cost but I still need the computers and extras for it.
With the SC, it sounds to me like a plug and play compared to the TT setup. But I also see that it cannot produce the same HP gains as the TT.
So I will have a chunk of money this summer, 5k range and I will be able to throw more into it in the future, but would a SC kit that I can later upgrade be a good start, or hold out and save up for an entire built engine/ TT setup?

??? The only SC that is a plug-N-Play is the Stillen SC. You're lucky to have 350WHP on that kit. Even Stillen will cost you close to $7K+ with the Hood and paint.

Now if you think you'll want more than 400 to the wheels, wait....
