the only really good thing is the greddy kit is good for beginnersi it comes with everything you dont need to worry about some random fitting is missing or whatever, i guess thats the biggest PRO for the kit, but if you have enough knowledge you can build your own kit with much better parts for the same price...

well i know the parts to a turbo kit and all that but my thing is the closest dyno and guy who will tune is 6 hours away. so im kinda looking for something like the edelbrock kit that comes pre-tuned. i am assuming you cant buy anything pre-tuned for a custom kit because there is such a variety of how to make your kit?
