Default Turbo kit help

I have a '96 Civic, D16y8 and I am looking for a good turbo kit to install. I did the ebay sh*t kit a long time ago, but looking for something much better and complete. I have been searching and was stuck on the Edelbrock kits...but unfortunately, they are all discontinued unless someone knows where I could still find one?!
I don't want a massive turbo, but something that'll spool quick and also make some power. The motor is fully built, so it can handle it.
Any input and help would be grateful

Are those reasonably priced??
And Ash, if you don't mind me asking...how much did it run you piecing that together? And did you get everything pretty much from the kit?

But thanks for your insight guys, I'll have to check out those kits later. I was pissed that I was heart set on that kit, just to find out they discontinued it lol

i paid 100 dollars for the manifold and the elbow each. i paid 1600 for the turbo. you need to consider the little things, like the couplers, fittings and bolts, which mount up in price

I can't seem to get on the SF page right now, but speedfactory does make quality stuff.
Even if you choose to piece a kit together, take a look at their manifolds!

Do you guys know if that intercooler will fit behind the bumper right? Are any if you guys running this kit? If so, what turbo option did you choose?
