KA-T advantges: all parts are available in the US, more displacement, already in the car.
disavantages: requires major expensive turbo kit, custom ECU, bigger injectors to do it right, weak pistons and rods from factory.
SR advantages: lighter, very durable factory turbo parts, more performance parts available
disadvantages : good luck wiht water and oil pumps if you have a problem....same goes for a lot of other crucial electronics. install is somewhat more involved than just a turbo kit.

thanks this is some of what i was looking for
im trying to research before i commit to something
theres alot of options im looking at and im still not sure with what route to go
and i did ask some of the FA people kris :-p
ooooh and im soooo getting a 5 speed swap now
i got to drive Jerry's car....OMG i want a 5 speed
what a stupid mistake i made
You might as well go SR then. Otherwise you will wind up spending a lot more in a tranny AND all the stuff for a turbo.
But really I'm afraid that you're going to have the turbo kit that never gets put on...
things have changed....no more shit talking
its time to actually back my talk up
