For a lot of people, that matters

I completely agree. Part of it has to do with simplicity, part of it has to do with not looking like it's been modified. The better the packaging I feel the less f**king with it I'll have to do. I've yet to open my hood other than to do it's first oil change and I hope to open it as little as possible once modified (other than normal fluid checks, of course. My MR2 gets its engine lid opened weekly to fiddle with things; it's a PITA).
The Vortech kit looks nice and clean. The Innovate kit looks nice and clean. The AVO kit looks nice and clean. The P&L, Full Blown and FA20CLUB kits look OK but I'm not in love with their turbo placement. Kraftwerks has me wary of their separate pulley system, and Jackson Racing has me a little put off by the "I pieced this together in my garage" look to it. I'm sure they'll both be reliable and make power, because they've been in the game a long time and built some serious cars. But dayum are they ugly!
