You cant go wrong with the greddy kit. Simple installation and it works well. Mine sure does anyways.

I had the greddy kit on my 98 ex coupe. The quality of the kit was good, but I immediately wanted to go faster. Turned the boost up to 8 psi and intercooled it with a ebay spearco intercooler. I used stock injectors and the greddy blue box that came with the kit. It was semi quick. I would recommend it to someone going with a kit setup. I would also recommend bigger injectors and some decent fuel management, thats the only thing I didnt like, but what do you expect for a 1,500 turbo kit.

Now they come with an Emanage unit for like $1400.. can't beat that, far better than the "hit-or-miss" bluebox crap

now that they give you an emanage it's got some real potential, get some 450's and tune it up and you can run 11psi all day long... My friend's hatch with a d15b7 / greddy / hack @ 10psi rips.

well for the price, the quality and the performance level you want,
Greddy all the way...

with the Hondata you won't push very far past 10 psi to reach your goal, depending on the head setup you got and the tuning too.

anyway... good luck on this, greddy is shurely your best bett
