Default Greddy or custom?

im having trouble deciding to go with a greddy kit or a custom "pieced together" kit. the main thing im debating is the turbos...tdo4h 15g vs. t3 60 trim. also im leaning towards the t3 60 because i can run an external wastegate...im looking for around 225 WHP for NOW....any advice?

go with the t3.. if you want to upgrade later, you have a wide selection of inexpensive turbos, that usually make more power and spool sooner than a comparable mitsu turbo.

get the greddy kit since your still rocking a stock d16. 225whp is about the max a stock d16 can handle.
play around with stock d16 then get a cheap turbo kit and small turbo for fun.

when you want to go with bigger turbos like t3t4 family then you'll need bigger displacment and more rev.

trust me you'll be happier with a 15G than a t3 if your car is a daily driven and looking for the most WHP under the curve...

hmmm...im completely stuck now the only thing keeping me from the greddy was the fact that power falls off up top...plus id get a custom DP made, ten send my turbo to forcedperformance for a rebuild for better top end...so i thought why not just get a t3 60? its not a HUGE turbo by any means and its responsive with good top end...anyone else...im REALLY stuck now
