Default Let's talk about the BIG 2

I am trying to gather as much info as I can based upon actual user experiences.
Let's talk about KB Racing/Trick Turbo and why I should spend my money with either one. I would like to talk about comparisons between the two, like fitment, ease of install, quality of kit, customer service, pipe placements/fitment and pros/cons with both.

I don't have much to add but if you're ordering soon I think kb is taking a few months off making kits

I am also interested in this topic. I can't find nearly as much info on KB as I can Trick. Also, Settlemoore is correct. KB is shutting the doors from 6/1-9/1 for "summer activities". Because of this, I may default to Trick despite leaning toward them anyway.

The main reason I went with Trick was for the cast manifold. I have heard great things about KB as well. Can't go wrong with either.

It's just going to boil down to your preference. I've never heard a complaint about either one of them. I bought a used trick kit looks like quality stuff still looks new. Still have to install it but that just boils down to install time and tuning. I dd her. Trying to find down time. Whoever you choose I doubt you'll be unhappy! Especially when you hear that turbo whistling.

Fixed that for you...LOL

And I agree with the others. There is nothing really between them.

I had an STS kit years ago, it was "ok" but I would never buy another or use one if it was given to me. I'm hooked on the whistle that's for sure and boost feels great, but I had a bad experiences with my STS kit, so hence the reason that I brought up this post

I do not know what the other guys offer but I know Trick comes as a complete package. The tap and drill for the pan, the feed and drain hoses and fittings, the heat protector wrap, the cast manifold, the constant drive to enhance the kits and constantly improving something that is already proven to be amazing, the o ring flanges, the short IC charge pipes, inter cooler flow, #s of install threads with reviews and support, his customer support is bar none. He answers texts better than my best friends and family. Truck Tech just highlighted his kit also.
