well, i did a search for "GREDDY" and after going thru page after page of what seemed to be topics about turbos and Greddy items, i figured i'd ask this question to get some real world feedback.
after stewing all weekend over my all-motor options my gf and i have come to the conclusion that perhaps we might be better off boosting a D16. we were presented with the idea of a complete **COUGH COUGH**B18C1 swap**COUGH COUGH for $4000CDN installed but seeing as how I can get a D16Z6 for cheap and my distributor deals Greddy we've been thinking of going over to the dark side of boost.
here's the questions:
1) New Greddy D16Z6 complete kit with intercooler OR APEXi complete kit with intercooler?
2) which turbo kit would work best for streetable and reliable power and performance on a seasonal daily driver?
2) do any of you have some real-world exp or feedback on either of those kits?
my distributor deals with Greddy and APEXi so I can get either one at a nice dealer cost. I know the greddy kit is cheaper priced and comes with the E-manage unit whereas the APEXi unit is more but comes with a ballbearing turbo. basically i'd like a nice quick street car that can handle the rigors of seasonal daily driving and family needs. i like the fact that the D-series engines are very inexpensive and relatively easy to come by at most yards.
thanks for the replies all and don't be too shy with the info.
Steve-O.
P.S. i've loooked into the Edelbrock kit but my dealers don't get it in so i'd have to pay full CDN dollar for it since it carries a very hefty USD price tag
