Powerlab comes with a better turbo, tial blow off and waste gate, and is a lot nicer looking. Can u tell i want a powerlab kit?
There is a bit more to it than that. The basic powerlab kit is pretty on par with the turbonetics. You have to swap out the turbo for a monster with the powerlab to make that kind of power and if you don't like the lag on your car now, just wait to try that bad boy. You can push on the gas and light a cig waiting for it to come on!
It's a lot like the huge supra turbos. Unfortunately you are always limited by the physical aspects of the turbo. If you want fast response time you will have to get a pair of smaller ones. While I'm thinking of it, do you have a scan of your dyno? If so, send it over to me.

And as for the powerlab kit:
What i ment was the kit is capable of 1000+ yea a new turbo is need but, the kit can handle it. The turbonetics kit cant, it can only handle like 550 hp. The turbonetics guys them self said that the kit cant see more the 450 hp lol!
