need alittle help with a decision on turbo?
okay, i have a 94 del sol with a b16 swap. I've been wanting alittle extra "boost" in performance, but at the same time keeping an easy to maintain and daily driven car while still being reliable without breaking my wallet toooo extremely. I've been eyeing the edelbrock performance x turbo kit. I've read alot, and it seems that if i purchase this kit, its a pretty simple thing to do, it says i wouldnt need to purchase any other parts for it to work and run fine, it even says as long as its being ran on a stock motor, then no tuning is necessary.
Im just here to ask opinions on this kit, hopefully someone who has actually had expierence with this exact kit will come across this post and reply with helpful information.
if anybody knows of any major downfalls to this route, please inform me.
any help or comments are appreciated.
imo i like the greddy kits. a lot of other kits come with massive t3/t4 turbos or something like that. which is made to push high boost. the greddy kit for the b-series comes with an 18g. which is still a damn good sized turbo. plus since its smaller the some others it spools a lot faster/sooner. in most honda's with a bolt on trubo kit you push at the most 8lbs safley. so i dont understand why some other kits come with such high hp and boost rated turbos. plus the greddy kit comes with e-management so you dont have to find your own tuner. the only thing it doesnt come with is an intercooler kit.
also OBX was recently bought out by a better company and is making some quality parts now. i found out from my friend who manages a local tuner shop. id research them too.

the edelbrock is the most complete kit you'll find. the greddy kits lack an intercooler and bov, which can be added later but also adds to the price. the turbo in the edelbrock kit is very nice for the street.

the edelbrock kit comes with a GT28R for turbo aswell
this is 900$ turbo, dual ball bearing, BEST turbo for streets IMHO.
