All GReddy turbo kits are good products, I dont know what people are talking about saying they aren't. They are Mitsubishi turbos. The kits for the SOHC motors are the 15g, or the new 19T for the 96-00. W/ an intercooler, BOV, boost controller and good fuel mangement you'll have no problem running 10 psi on STOCK INTERNALS. This is good for around 110-120 whp, and low 14/high 13 second passes.

Also, compared to kits such as the Rev Hard, or the Drag III kits, the Greddy kit won't make as much power. You are much better off buying the Greddy kit, due to the fact the Drag III kits come w/ a T3/T4 turbo (much bigger). While these turbo's will give you more high end power, the will take a long time to spool. Also, the factory internals can only hold 250whp, which can be reached even on the Greddy turbo.

As for running w/o Innercooler, I'd highly suggest otherwise. You'd be ok at 5.5 psi, any higher and you're risking your engine. I don't know about you, but my Civic is my daily driver, which I rely on daily to get me to Point A and Point B, and I'm not gonna risk it at the expense of HP. If you wanna get a low cost innercooler, I'd suggest a JohnnyRace Car Innercooler. Go to www.johnnyracecar.com. Then you can order some piping from JC Whitney and have a FMIC for around 300-350. If you really don't have even THAT cash, and are gonna run boost anyway, go to a junkyard and buy a side mount innnercooler from a DSM. They are good for a decent amount of boost. Though, my personal choice is the Greddy Type 31 FMIC. Lastly, make sure you buy a BOV also, I'd even suggest one at 5.5 psi. They aren't for cool noises, they are to release the air going back to your intake, and are there for safety reasons.

If you are going to up the boost, my suggested method is w/ an AFC Hack. Buy larger injectors and one of Apexi's AFC's (SAFC/VAFC). You can trick your ECU this way, and properly tune your fuel. You won't even need a missing link this way.
