greddy uses a smaller turbo which will spool quicker for u and will be more effective in high temp states...but u will not make has much power period as the drag kit with a t3/t4...also greddy doesnt include the intercooler in their kit...

Greddy wont make nearly as much power, but is "more reliable" with less work, CARB legal, and comes with injectors and a fuel map and stuff.

Nifty.

Daily driver, go Greddy.
Want to make a racecar, go Drag.

The thing is, if you want to make a racecar, Drag isnt the way to go either.

The Drag kit is just a better put together kit. Greddy relies on that box, it does have a smaller turbo, so if you're looking to go deep into the teens, you're better off elsewhere. Greddy is also pretty expensive when you throw in the FMIC.

Importparts is having a SICK deal on Drag kits right now...and they are in stock and ready to ship. I dont know where you're getting it from that has a 4 month wait!

Ofcourse they all tell you they are in stock and ready to ship...they aint going to tell you its a 4 months wait...however i have known ppl to wait up to 4 monthes..im not saying everyone will...but they always give you the run around.

Ben doesnt lie. Have you called Importparts.Com?

The only way they've been waiting 4 months is if they ordered from IP which was out of stock (in which case it will show up any day), they ordered the kit with extras IE BB Turbo, or they ordered from some Ebay dude or someone who doesnt do the Drag volume that IP does.

You can find stuff like that anywhere....if you want to take the time and find someone who bought it and cant use it, or whatever the reason may be.

Not only that, but Drag is strict about their pricing...so Im sure these guys selling the kits for $2500 are breaking the rules (not that its any sweat off your back). On top of that, if these $2500 dudes give good service, then you've struck gold.
