They come standard with a garrett t3/t4 .57 trim I don't think thats too big for a gsr considering my friends single cam spools it fine.
The street kit is $2699 you just told him to order a $1000 turbo and "nice" manifold. A good used ramhorn will run you about $400, new at least $600.
I'd rather have absolutely everything I need for $2700 then a turbo and manifold for $1600.

the greddy kit was an example and a t3/t4 57 trim integra spools at what rpm?
why are you comparing a 2700 dollar turbo kit with an fmu to a 1600 dollar manifold and turbo setup? and obviously you've never ridden in a 57 trim b-series vtec. sure they make nice "peak" power but the spool time is boring. they're fast on the highway and nothing else unless it's in a 2200 lbs hatch. even then i can take them through 3rd gear with my little t25g. you can find gt28r's for 600 bucks and spend 300 on a nice manifold. after that you need an intercooler kit which is no more than 400 bucks if you know how to shop, injectors, fuel pump and some form of "proper" ecu tuning, and a down pipe. you can get walbro's for under a 100 bucks and some 550cc injectors dirt cheap as well. why would i spend near 3 grand for a turbo kit and it doesn't even have a proper engine management system and isn't suited for my needs.
a gt28r goes for 780 brand new btw. and a nice manifold might set you back 300-400 bucks. but that's the most important part. better than paying for a 2700 dollar kit with a generic t3/t4.
