Default Greddy SOHC turbo kit questions

I have the d16y8 civc ex sohc motor and i want to get boosted. Im stuck between the Greddy and the Apex'i turbo kits. If anyone has any opinions please help me out. Some other things im worried about is what extras ill need to run around 8psi. i read about the vafc hack and im wondering if anyone has any opinions. I can email a list of parts im considering getting if you want to know. thanks...

i dont think you'll neded the VAFC hack with the Greddy kit.

just get the greddy kit and i recommend an intercooler, and you're probly set.

Yeah i was gunna get the greddy type 31 IC, Type S BOV, B and M oil Cooler, Greddy oil catch can, Apex'i turbo timer, mechanical boost controller, and maybe the Vafc, ngk brfe7e plugs, and if anyone thinks i need anything else let me know or if you think i don't need something let me know too. Some other things i was wondering about are if im running 8 psi do i need to do any internal work, pistons rods head ect. and lastly what about the greddy headgasket 2mm, is it worth the money or not?

with a built and sleeved block, the GReddy kit not going to get you very far. it a really good kit for daily driving though.
