I really like my Kraftwerks SC and believe it would be a good choice for you since you mentioned wanting to track it. Smooth power delivery with low under-hood temps. When I go to track days there are always several SC'd cars but no turbos. Most of the turbo guys I talk to crank up the boost and put out some big HP numbers but when I ask them why they don't come to track days the only two answers I hear are, "My car's power delivery is not good for the track" or "My car is in the shop with ___ (cracked manifold, blown headgasket, loose turbo bolts, etc.)" I know the turbo fans will jump in and say they are reliable if it is a good kit properly installed, but after more than a dozen track days (not drag), I have yet to come up against a turbo S2k (WRXs and EVOs of course).

EDIT: I am not implying that I have been to a dozen track days with my Kraftwerks setup. Only one track day on my Kraftwerks, I had a Comptech from '05 until this year.

I love the Greddy Kit, but I can tell 300RWHP is not as mush as I would like. If I could do it all over again I would probably save up a little more money and went Inline Pro, but before I started this F/I route, I said to myself I really didnt want to spend more then $5,000.00, so I guess The Inline would of cost me in the range of $7,000.00 or so, and I dunno that is just a little pricey, at least all in one shot

I asked this question awhile back and a response from a very wise individual was

"Are you cool with blowing up your engine?"

If not SC, if so turbo.

Made my descision a whole lot easier.

thats interesting, not sure if I agree with it, but if you have a conservative tune, and not pushing the limit of the HG you are using, not sure if one would blow a motor. I have the Greddy kit, and tuned it to 10PSI, I hear that is the limit of the OEM HG..I guess only time will tell
