Thanks for your input! One of the single biggest things I dislike about the Greddy kit is having to relocate the oil filter. I don't know why I dislike it so much but something about it sketches me out. So what manifold do you have on it? Having had a Subaru with upgraded turbo I know the benefits of the external wastegate. The smaller turbos on the Subarus are notorious for boost creep and the external gate makes that pretty much impossible. Match it with a good boost controller and you're all set. If you're looking for a great boost controller as well I highly recommend the Turbosmart e-boost2. It's a bit pricey but it has more features than you'll ever use. Plus it doubles as a boost gauge so that saves you a little cost on it's own.

I've seen plenty of kits go for very reasonable prices so I know it's definitely a possibility. I also have a 06+ and Flashpro will give me a much better tuning solution than the eManage. Overall I feel like the fit and finish on the Greddy kit isn't nearly as nice as say the SOS supercharger but I also don't think it's that bad and it really would get me the power I want. I don't need anything crazy.

I'm probably going to end up Frankensteining this kit anyway. I've got a custom made log manifold, though I am looking at a ramhorn style that may be coming out. Also gonna get the id injectors to replace the rc's. I like the ptuning kit a lot if you are going to pay SOS prices.

Should have left the fenders off and gone with the Prowler look.

I thought I'd be over the thought of boost quickly but it's still in the back of my mind. After several PM's from Kevin I'm still very much considering going boost. I wish I could make up my mind

Obviously, what you need to do is buy a second S2000 and put a turbo kit on that.
