Hypermax
Pros: still sold. Great instructions, easy to get parts, better for puling (non-gated), Easy to install, Good customer service, Cheaper parts and parts really don’t go bad. Lots of Oilburners members said if they had to do it again would choose Hypermax over the others because of better customer service and availability, Better pyrometer mount location then banks
Cons: Exhaust $350 more, some don’t like longer up pipes. Longer up pipes create more turbo lag. No gauges.
Cost $2865 ($2290 (subject to change from mel)
ATS 093 & 088
Pros: Easy to get parts, well liked and recommended by OBN users, Aftermarket had better flowing exhaust side over OEM turbos, Not much goes wrong, Cheaper Parts
Cons: not made anymore, ATS bad customer service
Cost ?
Side Note: Aftermarket 093 Has better flowing exhaust side than factory turbo
Banks
Pros: Still available, V-band Connections, Fastest Spool,
Cons: Parts are hard to find unless you have specific part numbers for Japan. Hard to install. Bad pyrometer mounting location.
Cost: $2700 manual
$3100 auto
Mel (Agnem)
Moose boost
Pros Another addition to moose line. Ball bearing turbo
Cons:
Cost: $1623.75 for the turbo, The Hypermax platform needed to run it is about another grand.

I have some factory ford setups available with new castings, and almost every part to do a kit, it would be ats style, wastegated. turbo repair parts are easy to source. I dont have crossovers yet, trying to get some made, I could sell 10 or so and would do mandrel bent ones but no one wants to prepay and I cant foot the bill at this time. I could do you a almost complete kit for TBD with a rebuilt turbo. You would need the Banks downpipe for factory turbo and a good exhaust shop could easily make a crossover but they need IDI exhaust flanges, they are unique.
Also available with an upgrade compressor wheel
R&d ceramic turbo coated
BW S256 with a .85 T3 pattern divided exhaust housing
56mm/84mm Compressor wheel
74mm/65mm Turbine wheel
4" inlet/2"outlet compressor cover
Pros: Different combo options than big 3, ceramic coating available.
Cons:
Cost: $2350
If anyone has any input I would love to hear it about any of these turbos, other kits or options offered, or anything else. My main goal was to give a pretty fair breakdown of all the turbo kits available for idi's.
