Default Better turbo?

Whats a better turbo kt for an 96 GSR integra, the Turbonetics or Greddy. Those are the two companies I have narrowed it down to. Turbonetics has a full kit with intercooler, W/G, & BOV. With the Greddy I have to purchase the Intercooler seperate and I believe the BOV & W/G must be purchased as well. I havent done the math to see if prices with all pieces come out to almost the same or not, but as far as companies, products, and reliability goes which is better in your opinion?

if your not worried about smog... the turbonetics is a great kit...

and for your research... the greddy kit turbo is internally gated... so the wastegate is technically included

but you would want to replace the shitty EMS they give you, as well as the injectors which barely support the system... turbonetics is a much better kit overall

well both my uncle and my friend have 2000 civic si's and both have the Greddy kit, my uncle had his now for about 3-4 years, my friend had his for about 2years, and none of them ever had a problem, both of them have done a port job, pistons,rods,cams,valves and springs with retainers, and i havent seen my uncle ever loose a race to an fellow honda or acura , even this one guy who said he was pushing 12psi on his H22 prelude with an huge IC and my uncle still beat him, so if you want performance and durability go with Greddy....

i'd only get a greddy kit if smog was an issue. if not, i'd get something other than the turbonetics.

Thanks for the input, I guess the Greddy seems the way to go.
