Excuse my lack of knowledge about them.
I cheaped out the first time on a crappy manifold and learned my lesson. Cracked, destroyed my original turbo, had to ditch almost the entire kit. Lesson learned, lucky I didn't destroy my motor.

The best advice I can give you is do it right the first time or you will be doing it again! Peakboost or Full Race are top top notch kits and you can't go wrong. I can speak for the quality of both.

I won't argue about the price/quality of Full Race though. If you see me at the track, I'll be glad to show you why I chose what I did on my setup.

Lastly, I have respect for people that put together a HMT kit. Just as I repect a lot of domestics. But for under 1K chances are your using some junkyard parts/XS power turbo or equilavent. You can't compare a PB or FR kit to one of these setups. If you want great spool, excellent power, and reliability be prepared to spend over 3K just on the kit.

Good luck
