the "best" depends on your application. if you're going to drag race, like at the track and not drive on the street, then the greddy wont offer the peak power u want. but if its a street car, then the greddy is a very appealing option. especially in CA

I have had a couple.

Drag 3 pros, IMO

Nice piping, good blow off valve, fits together relativly well, includes basicly everything you need.

Cons: Manifold sucks, DP sucks...turbo is so so, IC design is not all that great.

Max Rev Pros

Very Nice DP, very nice manifold, nice turbo, good IC, low price.

Cons: Not sure on the BOV, IC piping needs to be welded together ,doesn't include dump tube, or intake piping or filter.

Overall I am very impressed with the max rev kit...I haven't installed it yet, but from the looks of things so far I am glad with the choice I made.

It is more for the do it yourselfer....

Ditto..IMO for a KIT I would recommend Ravhard. Nothing beats DIY though.

Rev-hard or greddy. It all depends on what hp range your looking for. I like the greddy kit, but i wanted more power so i went with rev-hard and hondata.

Build your own kit, you will get the best results, if you don't feel like it or don't know enough go with rev-hard, they make the best kits for highler horsepower output systems. Greddy is reliable but doesn'y make as much power. If you build your own kit, go with hondata, your car will feel like it came turbo from the factory.

I have drag gen 3 kits on my sol and my teg. I think they are great kits, but I do think the drag mani sux. it is currently cracking on my teg. It's good to go custom, but piecing stuff together could get kinda tedious. just check out all the different kits out there, and make the best choice for yourself.

either way, you cant go wrong w/ turbo power!
