Default What's the best turbo kit for the EP3?

In your opinion, what is the best turbo kit for the EP3, the Cybernation Motorsports, Greddy, Rev Hard, or other? This question about the best turbo kit is based on the best kit for daily drivability, it has to be dependable, and it has to be reliable.

In my opinion it would definitely be hands down, the Cybernation Motorsports. I hear good things about this kit and that it's great in the performance aspects, as well as being dependable for a daily driver, and it is one of the most COMPLETE kits.

What do you guys think?

i would go rev-hard or custom turbo kit with hondata k-pro ecu you can get 290-300+whp on 10 psi on k20a3 but you also got to have someone that can tune hondata k-pro ecu very good that will make or break your car and if their is no good hondata tuner over where you live!!!! then just go CN turbo kit

The safest and most streetable kit is the Greddy kit w/ fmic. I'll run 7psi and hondata reflash. but it cost $2400 for the kit $800 for the fmic.

Try to price out ind. pieces and see what kind of price you get.
-turbo man.
-turbo (t3/t4)
-wastegate
-bov
-fmic
-downpipe
-gauges
-piping + couplers
-k-pro

I would go with Cybernation also. I haven't heard one bad word about their kit other than knowledge's comment.

You can have the best kit in the world installed by an idiot and tuned by a moron, your engine will go boom!

A kit on its own cannot do miracles. It has to be put in the car and tuned. With good tuning and a good install, you cannot go wrong imo.

I do like full-race and revhard.
