For a daily driver I'd say go with the CT kit. If you're looking for better results and you're not worried about reliability especially with the stock trans then go with the ZZP kit.

When ChiTown was planning on going turbo we did a lot of research on the CT kit and for a stock DD GT it's a great value. Only problem with it seemed to be the customer support from the CT guys, apparently they weren't very helpful to those who needed help with their kit. ZZP will give you amuch better results as well as great customer service. Just know that you will have to add the price of a built trans to whatever kit you order because the stock trans will fail fairly quickly.

CT FTW. Idk where you heard that 98greenGT but Kevin Margitta of CT is a great guy and knows his stuff. Their customer service is pretty good I would say.

Maybe. They seem to be having problems with that lately.

ZZPs kits are a cleaner install and come with better instructions. And on a kit this expensive, you can be sure your "service" is going to be top-notch.

The CT kits are nice but upgrade options are limited.

Even with my mixed feelings, I'd still say ZZP is the best place to get a turbo kit.

Their kits have more bang for the buck and have far more options.

In the turbo section over on CGP there's been a few threads with guys having problems with their CT kits and not being able to get any help from the guys over at CT. I have not heard of anyone having problems with the Z7 kits or any customer service problems relating to them.

Of course I haven't dealt with either company directly on their kits so I'm just going but what I've observed.

Both are good kits but for the win go with the ZZP kit ,the reason I say this is the CT kit was out first so ZZP has watched and made a few necessary improvements also they are hooked up pretty tight with stattama which is good the problem I see with the CT kit is it's Canadian so service may be an issue ,I can tell you ZZP has given a lot to our development and if you want them to keep giving us better stuff we have to support them.Chico(pops)
