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!
If you've ever seen other JRSCs on other cars (miata, for example) their kits look pretty much the same. Appearance-wise.
I used to sell JRSCs back in the day.
