you can get a new drag III kit for about 3300 bucks. that's a good kit. there's a deal in the classified forum with a drag kit with Hondata for 3300 bucks!!

Dont buy a kit. Spend some time in the FI forum and search something new everyday! You will learn a ton and then piece together your own "kit". Take if from a guy who bought a kit(me).

I would stay away from Drag kits, unless you want boost creep from the poor manifold design.

Lots of people put together kits that are more superior for less.

Of the ones listed so far in this post, the F-Max is your best bet.

Rev Hard Kits are good, Greddy, F-Max, if it was me i would piece together a custom kit and it will end up being alot cheaper.. try junk yards and stuff for turbos, but a manifold, etc just search

Heres all you need to know

1) If you are turbo noob,and dont have the time/patience to piece together a kit, then go with a Revhard.($2800), add gauges, fuel management, boost controler ect....

2) If you have the desire to learn, want to save some $, and get some better quality parts then research and piece together a custom kit.

I started with a Revhard 2c($3200) was a great beginner kit, I learned alot from it, so I write that expense off as a good learning experience.

This time around I peiced together a custom kit with pieces that i felt the Revhard lacked and places I figured i could save some $. This time around I spent about $2500 and got only things I needed, and got the parts I wanted. What i have now is like an upgraded Revhard kit....Online pro Mani, Precision Turbo(now comes with Revhard kits) 2.5-3" exhuast, Stainless Oil lines...ect......

Hope this helps
