I would skip Greddy....no point in paying that much for a small turbo, no intercooler and half ass fuel management. The only benefit to the Greddy kit is an incredibly easy installation, and SMOG legality if you dont add an IC.
Drag comes with a nice kit...efficient Spearco IC, nice piping, nice sized T3/T04...the only downside is the manifold, which has the wastegate placed over one runner, which can sometimes cause it to not hold boost at high RPMs (ie creep). Some people experience this with less backpressure (ie 3" exhaust) and some people never see it. When I was running open DP, I CERTAINLY saw insane creeping with the Drag mani. The Deltagate also isnt the best if you plan to keep the Drag mani...you'll want to upgrade to a Tial.
RH is also nice...great manifold, excellent turbos (some kits come with Precisions if you specify...sc34's if I remember right). Turbosmart WGs are money as well. The only downside is the piping and the Vortech BOV which some people have expressed displeasure with.
Or you could go custom, like importparts new make your own turbokit feature. There's other kits that are better and worse, but these are the top kits in the "affordable" range IMO.
good information :goodjob:
what kind of numbers were you putting down with the Drag kit?(if i understood right) did you like the kit and when did it hit full boost?
what are these said Spark Kits? never heard of them :thinking:
