Default Greddy turbo or Drag

say you were to boost on an ITR, go with a greddy or drag kit? i know drag will make more power but which will be more reliable... a headgasket will be installed as well. give me some opinions.
thanks

Greddy doesn't spool that much faster then Drag's turbo, and considering the amount of hp you will lose IMO it's not worth it. I have a drag kit with BB, and very soon I'll be getting full boost before 3000 rpm, which is perfect for me because who races below 3k???

i'm acutally looking for low boost (as i have no intentions of blowing this motor anytime soon) unfortunately i dont have any money for bottom work.. thats why i decide to go with a headgasket as a safety measure..

DRAG if you want to build up your motor Greddy if you don't. But DRAG would take Greddy turbo anyday though not flaming on Greddy or anything I was about to get it but got a better deal on REV-HARD

will you past smog with a drag kit. if not that would be the only reason why i wouldn't get a drag kit and i know that the greddy will so depending on how u want to put things i say that drag is a bit more of a hastle if you can't past smog.
