Go with the GReddy turbo kit, then customize the GReddy kit.

ok so here is the low down on the differant kits. they all share practically the same hardware aside from these differances.

t1r requires tapping into the oil pan and changing the injectors.

hks requires an official tuner for the piggyback ecu and a BOV. it is carb legal.

i have no knowledge of the greddy kit yet and you just need to track down all the parts for a custom one which is probably cheaper but way more work.

personally i would go with the t1r because it comes with bigger injectors so if you want to up the amount of boost you just need to retune and your ready to go.

this is all my personal opinion though.

The Greddy and HKS are "plug and play" T1R is not. Also, the Greddy makes more power at 4.X PSI then the HKS does at 5.7 PSI...but the HKS is the lowest priced...I found it for just over $2700 shipped at: HKS - Turbo Kit - Bolt On - Nengun Performance

aside from the oil pan tap, t1r could be "plug and play" with simply AEM F/IC and boomslang harness.... and just sell the greedy e-mangle.. recoupe some money
thats the plan... 4me
If I had not been informed about the Aem F/ic fix for the lean closed loop problem, 4get the turbo.
as it turned out... forum's are a godsend... and boost is comming soon.
along with some other crap... soon.
