woh...you have won!!!! you have been the thousandth person to start a thread with this question!!!

ummm,
greddy needs some additional parts to make it "complete"... more tuner friendly , in that you can raiase the boost/tune without having to find a unichip registered shop

aps...more complete out of the box, but it;s from australia, and we all know that crocodile dundee came from down under

go for the JUN tri-turbo kit, its a tripple turbo, one turbo sits where a turbonetic sits, the other where the aps ST goes, tho third is custom fabricated on the passenger side. Pipeing is all chrome, its 3 t-25 turbo's that run 2 cyc each. Come with a intercooler, oil cooler. 660cc, complete fuel return with pump. The EMS is a tuner kit 32x32 fuel dispay..ect. They made 453hp@5psi

knock on wood, no one have blown their motors to my knowledge on the APS kit, but that also has alot to do with good tuning.

i know a few that blew, because they messed with the tuning, or installed it in there garage. the stock unichip fuel map is pretty dead rich from what i seen, and those cars run fine

My $0.02...

Best value... TN single turbo tuner kit, fuel system, EU. Economical, reliable, good numbers, better performance than SC kits, user tunable, etc

Most power on stock block... APS TT, great down-low torque, reliable, complete out of the box, etc., however only if installed and tuned by authorized dealer

Anything else, it really depends on how much money you want to spend and what your long terms goals are. There are many other options but they are more complex... if you don't fit into one of those categories you should do a bunch more research before deciding on anything. In the end a competent installer/tuner is the key to success.

The simple truth, is that there is no "best" kit. It depends on your goals, and preferences, and what you intend to do with the kit. There is a best value, best out of the box, best potential, best peak HP, best blahblahblah.

My advise, is to to spend a couple weeks surfing this forum, and listen to the various owner opinions out there. Those that own the APS kit are going to think its the best, and those that own the Greddy kit will also think its the best. It's just human nature. So you have to make this decision yourself...after digesting as much opinion as possible.

Hope that helps.
