Screw a freaking greddy kit. Step it up and build your own kit, get uberdata and boost the crap out of it.

go for it! 157k its still a baby
If the motor still runs strong and has consistent compression #'s why not. My d16z6 @ 148k still had the machine marks on the cylinder walls from the factory heh. And that was after 8000 miles at 8psi with a 14b.

One thing I would suggest before boosting it is getting some arp headstuds and a new headgasket though. Chances are the original hg will begin to leak a little causing some coolant overflow and overheating issues.

You're the idiot noob that was asking for hp/tq numbers in another thread , you have no room to talk. I however am speaking from experience. Greddy kits are slow and crappy, custom kits make more power and are more reliable.

greddy is not made in japan, trust is in japan.

and i agree with nonvtec. build your own kit. I have $500 into my entire kit, with 170,000 miles, beating the **** out of it daily, on 10psi tuned with uberdata. not a dam thing wrong with it....
