greddy makes the best DAILY DRIVING turbo kits. they dont make the most power, but they are super reliable. i have one on my b16 swapped ej and it can run all day at 8psi no problems.

For a setup to be suitable for daily driving, it comes down to two things.
1) The car needs to be tuned, properly. 2) The parts need to be good quality.

I have a stock block and head with Type R cams tuned by Bubba running a Turbonetics 60-1 Turbo. Made good power on 7psi.

please dont buy a Greddy, Edelbrock, RevHard, TurboNetics or any other "kit" setups...they're all overpriced and unless you're a moron or live in California, you shouldnt have one....

Go to the MarketPlace and find some good deals on parts there....if you read and learn, you can save yourself a lot of money
