I'm not sure, but the guys in the FI forum might know. I've been reading up for when I'm ready. Check it out. Good luck and all the turbo info you want is in the forced induction forum.

well the Rev hard and Dragg kits have a hybrid T3\T4, where the Greddy has a smaller H024 or somthing?? Can't remember what the model # is but go to http://www.greddy.com. Basically, you can pull a higher PSI from the Dragg or Rev kits, but you don't want to go over a 8psi in a EK EX. Du to the weak block. The Greddy kit has a smaller turbo which can't push AS much PSI as the a hybrid T3\T4 but it will spool faster and you will get up off the line faster.
Id say the greddy kit with an intercooler would be choice. You won't be schoolin a S2000 but youll certainly give them a heartattack.

Re: whats turbo should i get? (greebler)
drag has a t3/t04b, rev hard has t3/t04e (rev hard's turbo is bigger)
greddy has an 18g (smaller than both, but greddy kits are a sinch to install and upgrade... truly bolt on while you need to perform some mods with drag and rev hard.
drag piping is mild steel and chrome (ooh ahh)
if i were you i'd go for a rev hard. their manifold is a lot better than the drag manifold. wastegate placement is much much better on the rev hard manifold.
greddy's fuel system is the best of all 3 if you're going to keep it at the "stock" boost level. you run rich, but hey. it's better htan running lean.
drag and rev hard turbo kits use an FMU and inline pump. the philosophy behind the FMU is that it raises fuel pressure by 12 psi for every pound of boost. So basically, if you're running 7 psi (stock psi on drag and rev hard kits), you're upping your fuel pressure by 84 psi at full boost. in my opinion, this isn't good. how much longer is your stock fuel system going to take this massive amount of pressure? if you upgrade to a standalone, afc hack, or even SMC you'll be much better off.
what i'm trying to get at is that custom building a kit is the best option. you get exactly what you want for cheaper than buying as a kit.
damn i just wrote a lot. hope u actually read this. lol

Re: whats turbo should i get? (sutrusu)
i can't run stock any more. i just got down rebuilding my motor with lower my compression down to 9-0-1. i think stock b16a2 compression is 10-4-1. the reason why i did that was that i could boost more then stock.. the guy that rebuild my motor said that i could boost up to 18 safe and 20 max. what i have in my motor is JE piston, crower rods. retainer, valve spring, and valve, cam gears (skink 2), skink 2 manfoild, port and polish head, and also i have my intake and exhoust cams regrind to 2 deratio... i try to post something up on Force I, but they haven't reply back yet. help me guys.. hey help me with what kind of ecu i should get?
thanks james
