My Pros so far: Only Titanium S2000 Turbo Kit on the market Pretty affordable Very reliable kit (haven’t had problems with the whole kit overall) Cool design and easy access to most of the essentials Ballades GT35 Turbo spools up fast since it’s a ball bearing, comes with oil & coolant inserts. Huge with a 4 in inlet which you can choose later down the road to install the T51R mod, Not bad for 500$ add on when purchasing kit. Makes amazing easy power Does good in the summertime and heat (never over heated from hard driving) Easy to add on other upgrades Sounds insane when in full boost compared to other turbo kits Love the billet timing cover with AN fitting that is included (don't have to deal with removing the oil pan just to tap it for the drain line) •Love the huge inner cooler Turbosmart wastegate & BOV was an amazing choice Doesn’t sound rice lol Ballades offers pretty easy installation DIY video •Shop payment option at checkout (way better option rather than using affirm with higher interest plans) Cons so far: Boost problems during the winter or cold weather (never had issues in warm weather) CXRacing Design (not ballades original design) *Turbo manifold may come warped (contact them right away to exchange or get it machined yourself) Hard access to oil filter (have to remove down pipe each time you do a oil change or get a oil relocation kit) *Charge pipe could be made better to fit and not rub on the radiator hose Wrong oil restrictor (to big and can cause turbo to smoke) Had to unbolt ac actuator and bend the line a bit to fit innercooler Wish they could offer a anodized option for the titanium (just my opinion, not really a con) T clamps are pretty, but fragile Ballades DIY video could give a little more info on how to run wastegate lines, turbo feed line, fuel pump install, injectors & ECU to help others who never done a turbo setup before, make a update video on the new inner cooler design as well since it was different when I installed it. Pretty quiet at idle (isn’t to much of a con for me but can be for others) Overall at the end of the day a good choice that I made getting it. Definitely recommend it for those who are mainly street driving or showcasing their S2000. Not sure about tracking til I can figure out the boost creep problem here in PNW. Well make a follow up video in another 6 months! Thanks for watching! ❤️
