Default Need Opinions - Turbo Purchase

I've been seriously looking at turbos now that I have a new job and have the money for it.

I've looked at a MaxRev kit that Kyle at K-motorsports is selling (was on GBC). It comes with a T3/TO4E turbo, MaxRev BOV, DIY piping, cast manifold, lines, Apexi filter, Tial 35mm WG, FMI, 2.5" DP and a Hondata S200B for just under $3000 shipped.

I am also looking at a custom kit with a Turbonetics T3/T4 with a 50 trim, cast manifold, Blitz BOV, DIY piping, Tial 35mm WG, 3" DP, FMI for about the same price shipped.

The MaxRev kit is a complete kit, but the custom kit has some better pieces.

Suggestions/opinions?

Thanks!

I'd go with the max rec because hondata is included. Saves you $500 bucks.

Can someone explain to me this DIY piping? What exactly do I have to do myself? Just put run the piping like it needs to be, that's it?

From my understanding, you have to take it to a muffler shop (or something) and they weld it all together and fit it properly. It's good for our applications because we have different motors and we can make it fit like it's supposed to.

12 - 18 lbs maybe more... I don't know a whole lot about FI yet so I'm not sure what my setup can handle.

I told ya, looks like it is unanimous for the MaxRev. You can always upgrade the parts later, but I think that the Hondata is important more now than the other parts..... once again just my $0.02
