Kraftwerks or Mase
I live on S2KI.com and read the posts all the time. I, unlike others, search all the time about different topics. I am now in the position to boost my 2006 s2000 and do not know which path would be the best. I know that there is a price difference of 700 dollars but that doesn't hold too much water to me. I know that the Mase kit is expandable and makes great power. I just do not know which kit would be: more reliable, easier to install and just overall a better kit. Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm this may be a bit of a biased vote here lol.
Mase turbo kit. I thought about the KW kit as well but i went with the Mase kit.
100% BOLT on except the bung for the oil return into the pan.
Fitment is perfect. Comes with detailed instructions that are very descriptive and explains everything step by step in the proper order. I upgraded to a bigger turbo from the standard kit, and LOVE the car even more now then before. Its big enough to give it a pretty stock like feel when your not laying into boost, but small enough to have full spool before 5k rpms, and make lots of power.
There is no need for relocating anything at all, plus is already comes with a basemap that would allow you to plug the ECU/EMS in and get to driving.
Also being turbo.. it quietens the exhaust note a nice amount.

Depends what kind of driving you're planning to do. If you drive alot of track days, I'd be inclined to go with kw kit, because heat will be less of an issue vs a turbo. If you're only driving street then mase's kit.

Maybe provide more information on how you plan on using the car. Is it your DD, you gonna track it? How many other things do you plan to add to the car ? How much power you looking for?
Both kits are real nice, mase kit may require some extra stuff like exhaust, gauges but will make more power and more power sooner.
The KW kit will be more reliable and probably better for a DD.
