If you just want a bump in power then 400 whp with an SC should be good. TT will give more but also cost more and has some heat issues associated with it. You may want to buy an oil cooler first. Either way you are going to need one.

Isn't an oil cooler included in the kit? Other than that, what other things are necessary? Everything in my car is stock except the exhaust and HFC(custom test pipes)

If you are just daily driving the car then as long as you have a oil cooler then heat really isn't an issue at all.

I have the 34 row cooler with my TT and never see temps above 220. Even on a 90+ degree day after some spirited driving.

I don't know about the Greddy kit but GTM has many different options for either the TT or SC.

You can get a turn key kit that has everything that you need to get running or you can mix and match to your preference.

And as far as extra maintenance for a TT, maybe years down the road there may be more issues, As far as regular maintenance the only thing I plan on doing differently is changing the oil more frequently.

If you install the turbo setup correctly, get a good oil cooler, and have it tuned right, it will be just as reliable(or more reliable) then a S/C kit. S/C tend to build more heat on the intake side and are usually less efficient per lb. of boost.
