I dont have a turbo ep but I know ppl with greddy and revhard that love it. Go with revhard if you want better numbers but Greddy is not bad either if tuned correctly. Do some searchin on ephatch I know a few ppl over there with turbo kits.

i would say go cybernation all the way, but you'll run into problems come inspection time because the set-up calls for you to remove your catalytic converter all together. so u'd have to rig up a straight pipe and cat and install it right before inspection....

GReddy has a pretty kick *** kit, but u'd have to by the blow off valve and intercooler kit seperately, if u wanna kno about this kit talk to ep_nezay...he's like the authority on greddy...but with this kit most people are pushin around 250+whp..and it is very upgradable ! also it passess emmissions testing and inspections because you keep your cat...but thats also 1 of its restrictions since u do still have it u get less HP than the CN, u could put a high-flow cat on as well but i dunno if it'll make a huge difference or not

i don't really know much about the rev hard or drag so i cannot really comment about those

Greddy is now very reliable...and with the Hondata Kpro already programmed with the Reflash..you dont need the emanange anymore...Thats what I had problems with before...

If you want one just for the street, the GReddy is the way to go. Simple bolt on and easy to work with. The Rev Hard and Cybernation kits would be for those interested in racing at the track. Cybernation is the way to go if you're serious about racing at the track. (I say this because all the stage I needs to run more boost is pistons and rods. If you want to go stage III the basic stage I components will work.)

It all depends on what you want to do.
