Default Turbonetics/ECU/Crome vs Greddy full kit?

Theres always 2 decent deals on ebay. One is a turbonetics kit that comes with a niceFMIC and pretty sweet bov. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VECCO...71115454QQrdZ1

The greddy kit with the FMIC:


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...009&rd=1,1

which is a better deal all things considered? Ive been building my bottom end over the winter and would like to pull off 10-12 lbs of boost. The greddy kit comes with the Emanage and injectors. I have a 99 ex so as I understand, Id need to go obd2-obd1 harness with a chipped ecu and crome or something similar. Which would you consider a better deal in the long run, the greddy kit, which pretty much has all the components, or the turbonetics deal and buy the additional supplies?

thanks for looking

Go with the one with a warranty. You can never be to careful when buying parts off ebay.

Honestly, I know its said in every other post on here, but DIY ftw! Piece your own kit together. Your looking at spending $2000+ for those other kits with inferior parts when you could build your own kit for $1000 with muchmore qualitystuff. Especially with a d series. Just take your time and research different options like what size turbo you want, how much power you want to make, what kind of power band your looking for, etc. But whatever you decide to go with,pick up a p28 or the like, chip it and get it tuned!

Just a heads up, the warranty isn't going to do you any good. There are WAY too many ways for them to get around it.

no the only thing you have to REALLY worry about is how and who is tuning your engine, put your best dollar down for tuning and it will last a long time
