Trying to decide on an Fi setup

Going Fi in or around 6 months. Waiting mainly because I am unsure what exactly what I want to do, also I am a tech, any my company is building a shop, I want to install it myself so have to wait until I have a shop, for most set ups. At any rate I'm not adverse to either sc or turbo as they both have pros and cons. I like the sprintex set up as install seems easy as pie , it seems like a good bang for the buck, I like the instant torque and of course it sounds good. As far as turbos go the only thing I don't like about the majority of the kits is the placement of the turbo, in front of everything more or less. Given this I saw several other kits utilizing mounting underneath, passenger side next to the tranny and rear mount. The rear mount is of particular interest as I have driven two of them, a ls1 gto and a c6 base vette. I don't care what others say about the inefficiencies of rear mounts, both of the cars drove great, had little to no lag and were reliable, plus they sound sick as tits. I would prefer to spend under 5 ish and I live in Texas so cooling is a must. Thoughts?
