In my case. . .
1. They didn't make it for the 96-98 civic, so I had to get a few pipes made. (I purchased the 92-95 kit)
2. It's a small turbo, it spools quick, but the top-end isn't there.
3. Internal wastegates suck.
4. Intercoolers are extra.
5. A few people I have spoken to on the board say there BOV don't work right. . .mine too.
6. I didn't want to mess with the black/blue box. . .missing link was extra.
7. Not producing the power I really want. . .but then again I have it on a SOHC.

I have a Greddy kit on my ZC, and I sort of wish I would have saved for a DRAG, but at the same time, its in and done for under $1850 (I had to buy a FMU) and I like it a lot. You really get what you pay for I suppose. For the money its cool, but if you have the money, go for a better kit with ext waste gate, bigger turbo, etc.

I'm happy with my kit...I'm still at the stock boost level, but that may change sometime in the future.

Do those kit give enough top end power? cuz i kno elipses have like no top end with those small turbos. I havent really seen any greddy si's around here but i'd love to race one of those sucker.. and see how good there top end is. I'm running a drag3 kit and i love it. I bought it used for $2k and its been running fine for 10k miles.

i had plenty of top end

it might die out a bit because the blue box floods it with fuel.....but just wait like a month and a 1/2 i'll have my setup completed with dyno & track times.

Does the Greddy kit really give more low end compared to a larger turbo like the Drag setup? I know that the larger turbo will pull as speeds increase, but how about at normal daily driving speeds?

Also to add to the many questions here now, what PSI does the TD04h one come with, also if you wanted to upgrade to a bigger turbo, can a TD05h 18g bolt up to the TD04h flanges and DP.

I thought you have a greddy integra...did you mean drag?

Just to confuse you guys even more who are deciding between drag and greddy...drag gen IV is coming out this summer.
