Default Greddy or Peakboost?

I currently have a daily driver b series turbo in an ek and want to upgrade to a better, more reliable turbo set up. I would like to be able to drive my car in the rain since I will be going to school soon.

I like the way the Greddy filter sits up top and will more that likely not suck up any water where as if I go peakboost ramhorn the filter sits down low and would have greater chances of sucking some water.

Turbo wise which is better turbo between a garret and a greddy(mitsubishi) turbo? in terms of power, reliability, and longetivy.

Greddy cast manifold or peakboost ramhorn manifold? I will be looking for about 350 hp daily driven. which would be likely less to crack?

I need some opinions from the Honda-tech, so let me know what you think would be all-around better and why?

Thanks

Are you in a state where you have to worry about emissions? If so, the Greddy is your only choice. If not, then there is no reason to consider the Greddy kit. For the price, you can find several other options in the Marketplace that are better...

Not to the wheels no. You have to check with your state to find out if an open dumptube or even a vented bov is allowed. The peakboost kit does NOT come with injectors, fuel pump, or engine management, while the Greddy is bolt and play with everything. The drawback is that the kit was not designed to do 350whp without modifications to the injectors, pump, downpipe, and adjusted wastegate.

If I decided to go Greddy even though I dont live in a state where emissions are a problem but because its name brand quality, would I order a b16a kit for the 99-00 si even though I have a obd-1 b20/vtec(b16a head) turbo set-up?

Does anybody know if it comes with the greddy blue box or does it come with an emanage? so I could just purchase a boomslang emanage plug- and - play harness.

I think the kit is for a stock usdm obd-2 ecu so what will I need to make the FMU that comes with the kit work with my set-up?

am looking to run up to 10lbs. of boost for dd , does anybody hve an idea about how much power/tq that would make?

or will I be better off doing this...




Peakboost Manifold
tial wastegate 38mm
dumptube
I have injectors*
intercooler charge piping*
bov*
Garrett turbocharger t3/to4e( how good of turbo's are Garrett compared to Greddy from experience?)
and a chipped p28 ecu? and I will save some money.

Thanks

well if you get a top mount mani you wouldn't have to worry about sucking up water and that manifold with a garrett gt3076r will get you to 350hp easy. How many ponds you looking to run on a daily basis?
