    help me make my choice!

    Ok guys, I have narrowed it to two options, and I want opinions/reasons for your choice.
    1)AA stage 1 setup, new, 2 yr warranty(I believe)

    2)Technik Stage one setup, used less than 5,000 miles, with new blower w/ less than 500 miles, 1 year warranty

    Help me!

    It is off of a car from an individual who used to work for them. Although the blower only has 500 miles on it, the rest of the kit has 5000 miles. From what i can gather, it is a bit of a hybrid kit...somewhat in between a stg 1 and a stg 2.

    However, I seem to be finding out that they may have some software issues with the ZHP kit...Makes me sway a little more towards you Marco...

    I just want to gather as many educated opinions as I can, although I am not getting many here...

    Guess I am too "newb" for the forum

    i'd pick new AA equipment just because i like having a warranty and a company to back it up.

    AA stage 1 CF-38 or TS? actually, if at all feasible, i'd skip right to stage 2 and save the time and $$$ of doing the install twice. that being said, stage 1 CF is a LOT easier to upgrade than the TS which requires you uninstall the whole blower and send it back to AA for the cooling cores.

    A few BMW's...

    Wink TT turbo kit...

    How about a TT E46 turbo kit all the ZHP is is a 330 with slightly more agresive cams...Probably like an E36 cam profile.

    If price is a concern I would buy a new kit not a hybrid mix kit...sounds like potential problems...

    TT kit for ZHP isn't ready yet. Kit is very similar/the same(I'm not sure), but the tuning is different, hence the un-availability at this point.

    Thanks a lot guys for the responses.

    I can't seem to get a good time estimate, and I don't want to wait for 6 months. I think I will pull the trigger in the next month, so time is an issue...
