If I were going to do a street turbo, those cheap SBD kits are just fine. If I wanted to pay a lot for a kit, the Ptuning stuff looks the best designed.
Then again I've had the car for 5+ years now and I haven't added a turbo or supercharger. With a header and tune, the car makes enough power to have fun while not so much that you cannot wring it out. We have other cars for acceleration.

Didn't realize the SBD kits were much lower in price... seems like a bit too much power for me. I guess I am leaning towards the works kit is the conservative tune, non-invasive installation and saw a few posts commenting on the quality of the parts and stuff. Hoping the non carb tune will remove some of the compromises that i'm sure were made with the carb kit. I was considering just doing what you have done with the header and tune but wanted to go towards the FI route instead.
