Finally Made the decision (FI vs NA)
Well, I made the decision today. I made sure that I shopped around for awhile. I ended up talking with and visiting 4 different shops in Atlanta. I also asked advice from Doug (about a tuner in Atlanta) and a few other people on the board (max and a couple others). I finally made the decision.
I went FI. I went ahead and purchased the parts for the Greddy TT kit. I also purchased a BOV and the Greedy E01 system, it's very nice.
The install begins next wednesday. I am really excited about all of this. I'll keep you all posted and I'll make sure that I take plenty of pictures.
Wish me luck!!
Thanks to everyone on the board for the advice and informative posts.
Thank god I have a beater, lol.

Congrats on the purchase. Mine goes in for surgery this Sat. In addition to the kit, are you installing any other parts, such as gauges, Wideband O2, High Flow Cats. Any other goodies you already have on your car??

Lookin good! Good choice.
I finished installing my greddy kit last night. It took me about a week and a half. I worked on it on the weekends as much as possible and three or four hour a day on the weekdays. I am having some problems with the wastegates, so I will look into that tomarrow.
Good choice on the bov as well. I have to take the charge pipe in to have the flange tig welded on, so no bov yet. The compressor surge is there, and it's mean. I have only driven it once, I want to wait until I get the bov on. I cannot believe people are driving around with no bov.

Man you are really stuck on this BOV issue. I ran my eclipse turbo with no BOV for 50k miles and nothing ever happen to the turbo. I don't think I will damage these turbos at 8psi. Oh well I guess if you really like the sound that much you should get one.
Bini..two things.
I share your thoughts on the BOV...get it...
Second, make sure you mechanic uses safety wire to secure the heat shielding material to the engine harness and fuel lines. In your pics, I see zip ties....those will melt in about 3.5 seconds with those hot hot exhaust housings that close to them.
