Default Revhard or Drag?

hello everyone....i was looking to turbo my 97LS (b18b1) and i've narrowed it down to

-drag kit *they are having a sale....yay!*
http://www.dragturbokits.com/

-revhard kit
http://www.revhard.com/turbokit/inte...=9401&model=LS

as far as price/quality/future modification

--im not worried about carb legality
--i plan on building up the engine slowly as i continue on

lemme know what u guys think....thanks

Drag. Ditch the "engine management" and get something like what I am willing to sell you. h:

okei....thats what i was kinda planning on anyway...their sale brings it down to about 3200 after tax....mmm i should have it before xmas...installed by xmas.....................yay

ps. u dont think the t3/t4 is too big and would take too long to spool on my baby engine...it may make 260hp but how long does it take to get that high...

The drag kit will be perfect for the LS. What are the specs on the t3/t4, i dont remember.

i dont know...i was just told by a few turbo enthused friends that it might be too big for my car .... but drag also offers like 3 other turbos that cost the same to change out to....so i might just get their professional opinion when i have the cash...

For a stock internalled engine, it probably isn't wise to go with a full race setup.

The drag kit offers a good amount of adjustability since you can upgrade the turbo with a larger t3/t4, so it could make the same amount of power but further down the road when the engine is built to handle that kind of power.

Edit: I also forgot to add that the wastegate provided with the Drag kit is a joke. It won't hold boost pressure for shit, so you should think about upgrading to a Tial.
