Default Decisions, decisions....

Ok, so this is my problem.

I have an EG hatch and at the end of the summer i am doing a swap. I have been back and forth between the b18b and the b18c.

Here's what i'm thinkin for the B18B(142hp stock):
------------------------------------------
Fuel Rail/Pressure Regulator/Pump/Injectors upgrades
Apexi Super AFC
Greddy Turbo Kit w/Intercooler
Apexi AVC
Exhaust Upgrades

Here's what i'm thinkin for the B18C(170hp stock):
------------------------------------------
Fuel Rail/Pressure Regulator/Pump/Injectors upgrades
Apexi V-AFC
MSD Ignition Upgrades
Injen CAI
Exhaust Upgrades
Venom Cam Gears


So, as you can see, i am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I dunno what to do. Give me some feedback guys, and let me know what you think from experience.

B18B is a very boost friendly motor, I personally like it over the GSR, but that's just my opinion.

whats your passion?? FI or NA?? You will obviously get more power as of right now out of the first setup. However a boosted B18C is nice too Future plans might help you to decide.

I'm into NA myself so I say the B18C(2nd setup)

Yeah, if you're into FI as opposed to NA than a Boosted LS is very nice. I personally prefer the hybrid cousin... get the best of both and go LS/vtec... just my .02.

We think a like.

Get the B18B, it's very good for boosting. I'll be doing one in my EK hatch next summer.
