Default what turbo kit would you buy? vote inside

i'm looking for a turbo kit for my car, just something basic, not a custom setup like everyone likes to do. i can't make up my mind on which one i should get, Fully built b16 in a 95 eg hatch, what would you all do?

i guess my question for you is, why do you just want something basic when you took the time to fully build your b16? thats a big waste of $$$ for any of the kits listed.

Check out the kit at Cheapturbo.com or Full-Race.com . Better than those above.

why would you want to by a kit when later on down the road you are going to be changing half the stuff it comes with, put a turbo kit together and buy the products you have heard are good around here, custom

FYI, Turbonetics Turbo Kit = F-MAX Turbo Kit and vise versa.

Everyone already knows which kits I like so I won't vote.

I think every one has a different idea of what "Fully Built" means to them. For some people, pistons and a block guard = "Fully Built" while some of us couldn't list it all of the things it takes to Fully build an engine on one page.

I don't think I could "Fully Build" an engine and then disgrace it with the kit's listed above... IMO

yes, some people have different ideas, however...the 3 main ones are sleeves, rods and pistons. even if he only had rods and pistons, all of the kits listed would be horrible options.
