He didn't say it was the be-all end-all (did I word that correctly?) to forced induction... just a single turbo. He offered info about the Vortech too. They both come out to around $6k. You seem to really be reaching on this one and trying to undermine his credibility. It's obvious he's a vendor, it's not like he's being shady about trying to sell product.
Actually he pretty much did say that he said "THE BEST TURBO KIT ON THE MARKET RIGHT NOW PERIOD" I am not trying to undermine anything, I just asked what it does so well that other kits are obsolete other than it comes in nice boxes that is the only real feed back I have ever heard on this kit so after you unpack it I am not sure what makes it better than the rest other Momentem vendors have said it is very difficult to install as are most turbo kits, my JWT kit was also installed with the engine in the car and I have seen multiple Turbo kits installed with the engine in the car. More power at less boost is a great sales gimmick but to many variables can effect/skew the final power number. As he said after it his "opinion" I guess we shouldn't question salesmens opinions

Like I said before though, we feel most comfortable standing behind the Momentum kits. Not knocking other kits, just saying that we feel this is the best kit currently available on the market. We can go back and forth all day why I feel this way and Im sure others have arguments why their kits are the best.

I'm not sure if this will help anybody...I reached out to Momentum Performance regarding some lingering questions about their turbo kit. A couple things I found out is....
"Our exhaust outlet is designed to be used with a oem-placement y pipe outlet. If you have true dual exhaust, exhaust work will be required." So for owners such as myself who are running the HKS exhaust may have to have a flange fabricated to mate with the HKS midpipe and their down pipe.
Second is that apparently the cats are deleted from my understanding (I'm still a noob at this so don't flame me) I'm not sure if other single turbo kits delete their cats whereas most twin turbo kits keep their cats?(Please confirm)
Lastly, I was told that if you use their performance headers with their turbo kit they have seen an increase of 20whp.
Anyhow, hope this info helps those who are interested in this kit. For me it's a toss up between this and the GTM twin turbo kit. But I think i'm leaning more towards this kit due to the extensive research they've put in and my dealings with their customer service.
