Default Boosting zc in 90 Si

I ordered my ZC engine and I am about to order a turbo kit. There are two I am looking at. Apexi and Greddy. I was wondering two things. One, which one is better, and two, where can I get a high flow pump? Thanks for input in the matter.

Apexi has a ballbearing turbo,,
But greddy comes with that blue box(even though its horrible for boost over 8,its better then nothing)
Both come without a bov or intercooler..Those are optional and more expensive..

I couldnt see myself spending that kind of money for a small gain..You should think about a homemadeturbo..Build it the way you want it,.

Dont get me wrong people have gotten good numbers fron those kits but they seem to max out ..

If I go the home made route, where can I find manifolds and kit parts, because if I go home made, I may want to go with external wastegate.

if you want to pay twice as much for a kit thats fine,but if you have a little bit of extra time you can gather up better parts on here for half the cost.
