Switchback racing Single kit.

I can't think of any of the turbo kits that would allow the use of ART pipes other than a rear mounted one.

I've been running the Z1 oil cooler for a while and so far so good. I got the Setrab core upgrade w/ it. Fast Intentions makes a great product, so I wouldn't hesitate with theirs either, but I've also never heard a bad thing about BP, so you have a few good options.

You're going to fully build it, which is great, but these things still like to let go uncomfortably often at or above ~700whp. Yes, even built. It's a head gasket/cylinder deformation issue that so far, it seems only 2 shops have remedied(SOHO and Mazworx). Both claim proprietary methods, so they're rather secretive about how they go about it.

Thanks for clearing this up.

Switchback and soho is the same exact kit for the most part to help clear things up.

Alright. I think I have made my decision on the BP kit.

Right now I am debating to build the Z or another car that will give me the power I want for less. From what it seems is that there are other cars that handle the power better and are more mod happy... I want to just ask if you have any ideas on a good platform that can take the power and still be relatively cheap and can hold the power and not blow after 1500km...

Depends on what your taste in cars is like. If you're just looking to make power and go fast there's a handful of platforms out there that take well to mods. How much did you want to spend and what are you looking to get out of it?
