There is nothing wrong with the Greddy kit. If what you want to do is make your stock Civic or Integra a real joy to drive and you are not planning on dumping several thousand into your setup, the Greddy kit is ideal for you. Because of it's size, it spools quicker than the larger FMAX and Drag kits and, because of it's size, you will find it wanting at top end speeds at times.

The Greddy kit is a complete kit for the SOHC that costs $1486 and less. The kit does lack two non-essential but very advisable parts, a BOV and Intercooler. Add a $170 Type S BOV and a $300 XBIRD intercooler, and you are boosting reliably, for around $2000.

It all depends on what your goals are in choosing what turbo setup you want. Plan, plan, plan. Figure all parts and accessories. Figure out what you might want later down the road. Buy accordingly.

Ask most SOHC owners of the Greddy kit what they think of the kit and I bet that most will be satisfied with their purchase. Ask someone who wanted to turbo their car so that they could "own the road" and that bought a Greddy kit and they will not be that please with the Greddy kit. You just won't get the power out of a Greddy kit that the larger FMAX and Drag kits make.
