Default Turbo kit price difference....?

Why is this kit SO much more when buying directly from greddy? It doesn't make sense to me:
http://greddy.com/products/dis...ry=15
vs
http://www.sportcompactonly.co...w4S2g

It's almost a thousand dollars less...I don't know much about turbos, like what "trim" means or anything so I wanted to just buy a kit that was put together with parts that work well with each other, without paying too much. Looks like this is gonna be harder than I thought..

research more rather than wasting all your money on a setup like that...for the same price you can get something 10x better if you research and find out what you want. IMO those "kits" are garbage for the price

I'm not sure how to tell the difference between good equipment and bad equipment. Otherwise I would just piece together my own kit. I know what parts you need, it's just that everything people post that they find on ebay, everyone always says its garbage. Oops

how much power are you looking to make? and how indepth are you going to go on your motor? like are you going to sleeve and do pistons and rods? or are you going to stay stock everything?

I want a really conservative setup. I'm going to keep the internals stock for now, I'm looking to make around 200~210hp to the ground.

It's for a 1999 integra LS. B18b1 engine
Just got done reading these articles: http://www.turbominivan.com/tech/turbo201.htm
I'd like to keep the entire process of turbocharing under 2k (before tuning)

Would this Turbo and Manifold be a good combination for the build I have in mind? (Looking for ~210 hp on stock internals, I want to start hitting boost at ~3krpms if that's possible)
Also, how do I know they are compatible? Because they are both T3?
