I just keep hearing how TURBOs are much more of a headache, plus does the Greddy Turbi kit come with everything, looks like either way I will have CLM Racing in Jersey do the install, they have a whole bunch of 9 sec HONDA's so I trust them......... All in all I think the TURBO kit may end up being more expensive......... (but who does'nt love the sound of a BOV and a HUGE intercooler in someones rear-view mirror 
. Also IF I do the Greddy Turbo, won't I have to spend the money on a very expensive EMS. I guess with the turbo kit I won't have to buy headers, so I guess thats a few bucks in my pocket, I dunno..........

Greddy kit comes with an emanage ultimate which is the tuning unit for the greddy kit so no, no need for an expensive EMS unit

No, it does not come with a blow off valve. You need to have it welded on to the charge pipe. I think I was charged for 1/2 hour of labor plus the cost of the greddy type rs bov. Might have been an hour but I don't think so.

Well, I would imagine that the amount of time (which is what directly affects the cost) to install a turbo system is about the same if not a lil less than a supercharger. Tuning generally runs about 100 or so per hour. Tuning could take a few hours depending on how good the tuner is.

Also what about the InlinePRO Turbo kit, seems like everyone that has it likes it, what do you guys think? Basically I am looking for the least expensive/safest way to used F/I

KraftWerks announced the kit at SEMA in Honda's booth and has a long relationship with Honda. I doubt you will find another manufacturer or kit that comes close, rivals the quality, ease of installation, or OEM quality....That said, I am biased

The KraftWerks kit comes complete, can be installed in an afternoon by a DIY typer, requires no A/C modifications, no decrease in compression ratio, no tapping oil pan, includes new tune (and injectors based upon kit), and all other necessary goodies....HP is well beyond what Greddy is willing to publish, power curves are amazing, and reliability is stellar...The kit also includes many things that others don't, such as a very expensive / efficient oil cooler (we assume you are going to drive your car hard) and a very effective / efficient FMIC capable of handling much greater CFM than other cheap FMICs that are on the market.
