I am in desperate need of more power my i/h/e setup just doenst do it for me anymore and i was wondering which kit is the most reliable, and head ache free of all the kits out for our ep. From the research ive done im leaning towards the greddy kit because it has what im lookin for, conservative boost and not to much power that the clutch cant handle. but i keep seein people having problems with the e-manage system.IM not looking for 250 hp at the wheels just something that will compete with my bro's rsx-s with boltons. any input is welcome.

Well until some of the people who have turbos already start to pop up in here and correct me, here's my opinion on the whole thing:

From what I've been hearing Greddy and Cybernation have the best customer service. Save for the problems some people are having with the Greddy kit (which is appearantly wiring mistakes), the Greddy would probably be what you are looking for. It's relatively cheap, even though the I/C is separate, and the boost is at a reasonable level. You definitely wont get the same numbers as you would from the Cybernation, but that's only because they tune it for you. The Greddy with I/C and tuned properly could probably yield similar numbers, I don't see what they wouldnt. What it all comes down to, is you get what you pay for. Once you've decided that, you can work from there.

Were they street cars or "show" cars? I'm thinking BS though.

If I recall correctly SFP dropped the methanol setup from the basic kit...

Not sure if that effects the HP drastically or not. Power for Power tho, that is a little less HP than from the Cybernation kit, not even counting the loss without the methanol setup...
