You DONT GET 10% ON TOP OF THE PRICE ALREADY LISTED ON THE SITE. I would do Ben's just b/c of all the free stuff you get, but you don't get 10% on top of the price.

I would go with Geoffs deal, than get Hondata 2b or 3b, and some larger injectors. Then when you tell stupid people you have a custom turbo setup, they will think your really cool!

i had the drag set up and i sold it to buy the maxrev set up geoff sells. i can say the maxrev product is top notch and has been given more TLC than the drag product.
the drag deal is sweet though and if you have the dough go for it, cause YOU will need those items if your going turbo. myself i dont have the clams to buy something like that.

Of course i would say i have custom
the only reason i would consider the kit is the free stuff and it has eveyrthing i need..a little less work...
but i think i would be pleased more if i went with geoff...
hmm.
doesnt matter tooo much. i have time before i order

If you have the time, patience, and money to do it, go the custom route. If you don't want to spend up to 6 months pulling your hair out dealing with putting together a custom setup, order the DRAG special we are offering.

Because the intercooler piping is pre-fabb'ed and fits well with the DRAG kits, I'd go drag.
Also, Ben is usually pretty flexible about swapping items.

lol, ben that is very untrue imo. ALL the parts to a custom kit are easy to get access to via the internet. its just a matter of money.6 months? naaa,6 days more like it,until UPS gets here that is

I'm going by the stories that our customers tell us about their adventures with piecing together turbo setups. We supply them with the parts they still need once they've exhausted themselves trying to do it on their own.

it's not very hard if you know what your doing.
theres not some magic to it, i'm not going to debate custom vs DRAG kit,i'm just trying to point out its not difficult AT ALL.
the pre-fabbed kits have their place but alot of the components get ditched. all you need to do is research what works best for your application and wallet and go that route.

Not trying to flame, but if the question is being asked in the first place, then you should really go with the Drag kit unless you wanna do some learning.
The custom kit is going to give you the done properly setup, but you are going to have to do your fair share of work to do so.

Re: hmmm, DRAG 3 from ben or Custom from geoff? (Ein)
*cough* small turbo on the drag-3, but basicly an afternoon bolt-on setup
but..
*cough* LOTS of work with a grinder with the max-rev setup, fun if you like that kind of thing and have a few days to work on it..
either way you need standalone..
my setup (maxrev manifold/downpipe, t3/t04e, tial wg, tial bov, apex'i ic + steel pipe, braided stainless oil lines, pump) cost me $3300 (all my labor)
drag 3, bout the same price.. has inline pump (should be intank.), rubber lines, you should junk the fmu, has a deltagate.. but again, easy to setup..

my setup (maxrev manifold/downpipe, t3/t04e, tial wg, tial bov, apex'i ic + steel pipe, braided stainless oil lines, pump) cost me $3300 (all my labor)
Lets see:
MaxRev Mani, DP, Tubro: $1399
Tial Waist gate: $250
Tial BOV: around $180 (I think)
Apex I IC: $550 (I think)
Fuel Pump, not sure what kinda, but probably cost you around $200???
That adds up to $2379, I think, I added it in my head. Plus you bought oil lines and steel pipping, that probably cost you what, another $300 or so??? So max, that adds up to $2679. Did you forget to add any fuel managment stuff like Hondata and Injectors, that should have put you right around $3300?
