More importantly, how much cash do you have to throw at a turbo kit and how much will you have left over when something goes wrong?

Gotta go with what u like and what ur wallet can handle. BP kit is by faaaar the cheaper route with the same end results. Maintenance is cheaper. If u wanna go back to NA it's a lot easier as well with BP.
FI is the top for twin turbos. The kit is amazing. The price reflects the hard work that went into making the kit. Also with any TT setup, the labor will be a lot more costly.
Both are proven kits. Plenty info out there on them.

He only makes a few at a time (Sasha). If you can be one of the quick few then you're golden.

i plan on taking out a loan for the kit and i have some cash stashed for just in case of an emergency. I like them both and i wasn't leaning toward one or the other.

If the OP is gonna finance the kit, install AND all supporting mods (since we know nothing of what he has already) it would be bad advice to encourage this adventure, not to mention irresposible. If he's gonna do the install himself and has most of the supporting mods already then it would be up to his ability to make payments and still live the way he does now. I believe the OP needs to give this purchase some serious thought BEFORE he pulls the trigger.

Dude I'd say plan for $15k...FI is not cheap. Not to mention that you need $6-8k sitting around for the 'I popped my motor' fund. Both of these kits are real good but things happen. You are talking about boosting a NA factory car.

True. I took advantage of the timing E85 allows you to advance. My other option would have been garb 91 pump and theres no way I would have hit my numbers on 9lbs with it.

same end results? not even close honestly. The FI kit is making tons more power and torque much much sooner than the BP kit and at less boost pressure...

to give an example...just looking at graphs both companies have posted on here...

FI 9.7 psi 3K rpm ---- 210rwhp 360rwtq
BP 12psi 3K rpm ---- 130rwhp 230rwtq

FI 9.7 psi 4Krpm ---- 335rwhp 435rwtq
BP 12 psi 4Krpm ---- 285rwhp 370rwhp

Not knocking your findings, but E85 plays a huge role as well as ign timing. I've never seen a BP hail Mary run, I've seen like 5 F.I. hail Mary runs. Yes F.I.' kit will spool quicker, but not what you're making it out to be.
