Default Turbo kit choices

I have a '96 Honda Civic EX w/ a VTCH SOHC engine. I want to install a tubo system. Greddy, FMAX, revhard, and DRAG have caught my eye. Which is the best for me based on power potential and ease of installation (meaning no welding or crap like that).

Nah, the Apexi turbo is much smaller so it will need more boost to make the same peak HP. If you want more HP for the same amount of boost, you need a bigger turbo like what they use in the Drag and Rev hard kits. They use a T3/T4 turbo.

I know you need welding to assemble the DRAG kit. What about the revhard????
