Yeah the reason why some of the turbo kits cost more is the amount of parts needed to make them work. And as forensicsteve said, there's really no need for twin turbo. They are not easy to tune and as far as I know there isn't a twin turbo kit available for the 4.0. Powerhouse makes a single turbo capable of 400+ hp with very little lag. As far as the 3.73, yes it is a big difference. They are easily on par with an intake/tune as far as performance goes. 4.10 is an even bigger difference but I wouldn't recommend that for f/i, especially if you have a manual
Good advice. Yeah I heard the 4.10s are ridiculous on manuals and you basically lose your first gear.
Thinking about maybe CAI/ Tuner combo pack in the short run? Maybe that'd be a good combo with some 3.73s. And if I strip weight that'd be even better.
You are familiar with STS right? I would assume so since I don't know of any other manufacturer who does a remote mount turbo. How much do you expect to spend on putting together a system? I'm not completely sure how much the STS system is but it might be worth the time, tuning and reliability of your engine to consider their pre-fabbed system. STS makes a great product, I had the pleasure of meeting the owner at a trade show and he took me for a ride in their Tacoma. Impressive stuff. All without an intercooler, very little (If any) tuning and that turbo spooling sound that close to the end of your exhaust is unbelievably intoxicating to hear.

Yeah that's why I recommended the 3.73. With f/i and 4.10 you would be hitting the rev limiter real quick. The JLT combo is really good, and with 3.73 will give you a real nice kick in the pants
