Okay dude. You have to read what I said up top. I'm not gonna make a decission for you. There are so much more factors to consider:
1) One thing that I'm gonna tell you straight up is that your OBD2 ECU, like mine, sux ass when it comes to tuning it with turbo. I had my GReddy kit for almost 4 yrs now and still tuning it. Do not get me wrong. The turbo kit is kick ass on stock setting of 5.5 psi.
2) Are you worried about emission? Not all turbo kits are "street legal" meaning, you are not supposed to drive it on the road for normal commute. GReddy, FMAX, and Edelbrock should be street legal.
3) For 50-80 HP gain, any kit will get you there. It just a matter of how much boost you want to run providing ample fuel is supplied with the additional boost. Most turbo kits, regardless of which brand has a setting between 5-8 psi. That will surely give you the 50-60 HP....... again depending on the tuning (fuel being most important).
4) Keep in mind that these turbo kits also uses different sizes of turbo. This goes off to another topic..........
5) Here's the punch line. How much money are you willing to spend?

To be honest with you, GReddy is a wonderful kit. But for somebody like you who seems to be in a hurry to get a turbo set-up done, get a more complete kit like FMAX or Edelbrock. Otherwise, stick with N/A, be patient, do more research, and make your decission..... Just my 2 psi......
