Default Your feelings on this turbo kit? (b18c1 stock)

I am planning on boosting my b18c1 eg, it has full 3" thermal exhaust, and a stage 3 clutch and p28 ECU. This kit would go on a stock b18c1 ( for NOW ) and wont be driven all that much just for a few joy rides. HP range im thinking i want to feel comfortable with is 270 to 300, with tunning on hondata s300. let me know what your thoughts are. if there are any other kits that you can perfer let me know, price range no more than 3,000 hoping for 2000. kit needs to be reliable. thanks.

im guessing it'd be a good idea since i dont want to lean it out or blow a motor. but i have know idea, maybe 550cc? im thinking of taking to evans tuning to get it tuned. so it will get a really good tune.

if you went with ebay id just say drop rocks in your motor now and have fun lol. i contacted evans tuning about my ideas and he responds real fast. definetely a good guy to talk to and tune. the peakboost is a good setup. im going with a 28rs and port work but thats a personal thing

Look into AFI. I had one of their top mount kits with a T4/t67. Loved everything about it.

Stay away from Peakboost. They make good products when they feel like it but that's the problem, the customer service is horrible and lots of people are waiting for their kits from them. I guess it's okay if you buy it indirectly but if there's a problem good luck dealing with Peakboost. I'd say go with either Full-Race or AFI.

Peakboost makes a nice product but has had issues fulfilling their orders in the past few months. They are known to only ship parts of the kit and the customer is left waiting for months sometimes to get the rest of the parts.
As stated before, their customer service has left much to be desired lately.
I would try a different company for your kit until they resolve their issues at Peakboost and save yourself the headaches.
