The problem is look at what your getting... from Brayden your getting just a modified bolt on turbo... With a PPE GT40 kit/HTT Promax S300 Kit you get a pedestal, new Down Pipe, gasket kits, Oil Drain tube, oil feed line, v-band clamps and with the HTT you get an intake tube which is a plus. The GT4094 also produces more hp than a Cheetah Brayden has said so himself.

To add on what Paint said, the bd kits also include the intake piece as well. That just means a stock intake will hook up without any other pieces. FWIW I ran my bd kit with the stock intake.

Thanks guys, I didn't want to buy another converter seeing how I just bought this one.
So hunt continues, how this HTT turbo I keep seeing???:D

I liked the HTT, and it's a very good choice for street/strip/tow.

The PPE GT40 kits are also excellent for that application as well.

I sell both lines of chargers, and include free "turbo-specific" tuning with the sale to those with EFILive. Neither type will require a different converter at any altitude.

cheetah is available by request and acording to brayden its pretty much a 4094 that is just a bolt on.... brayden gets alot of greif from alot of people. so dont be afraid to pm a cheetah owner

If it is "pretty much" a bolt on 4094 why not just go with a 4094??? The fact is I don't see how a 2.5 inducer can flow as much as a 2.7 inducer with the same center section? Doesn't make any sense to me. For 3200$ there are so many better options out there plus FPE customer service is known to be shady were as PPE, HTT, and BD are known for GREAT customer service

Not taking sides for anyone, but every company is bound to have a few bad customer service reports, so people are imposable to please. Again I don't know or care about any of the stories, just trying to stay in touch with reality:eek:

i meant 577 hp not 477 and i am just telling you what brayden told me and nothing has every been shady with me and if he does just want something bolt in why not let him buy something that will just bolt in not saying it is made by god or anything but it is def an option

Im sure they are all good turbos , Anything bigger than stock is better:D

I loved the HTT....I have friends with cheetas and with 4088s and 4094s it is a touch decision but I have found that people tend to get a taste for the bigger turbos and instantly want to upgrade;):angel: If you ever diced to go bigger its nice to have a pedistall allready

good point simon , imop thats one of the advantages that the garretts have is they are on a t-4 pedistall so if you want to go bigger later the sky is the limmit . if money was not a factor i think the 4094 is the best all around turbo and is as big as you can go while still being able to tow ( without having to pull every grade in 4th). but i still say the S300 has the best bang for the buck just under the performance of the 4094 at a $500-$1,000 less price tag

That is a good point about the pedestal

You can always call Bullseye and get their s366 or s372 for $1300-$1500 and then buy Trent's install kit and make very good power. Somewhere between 550 and 850 depending on which charger and supporting mods.

I have a kit that includes everything you need, for less than what has been quoted above. However, what I have is not comparable to a GT4094.
