Go with F-MAX because it's the most complete kit for your car. DaveH kit is great and inexpencive but you will need to purchase some more parts.

boostlogic also has a nice price on a complete kit, FMIC and all... Pretty close in price to Fmax but with a lot more bang for your buck. Much better setup IMHO also.

I heard the TBKO kit came w/ intercooler, all pipes, fuel system, Greedy E manage and a new SS tubular header. That sounds like a REALLY complete kit? Just stating what I heard, I don't know quality or fitment, I have the GTE motor?

the dave-h kit will easily make that amount of power... the fmax wont have an easy time of it; and it should be cheaper after all the parts than the fmax will be
if you want a full kit; get a boostlogic kit; its only $4500 and has the best header of them all...

from what i hear the BL and DaveH kit can make similar power... looking around 450-500rwhp with the DaveH kit with the GN-based PT51 turbo he uses (which is pretty large)...
not sure on the BL kit but its "supposed" to be in the 400-450rwhp range...
and this is also numbers with tuning and correct supporting mods, etc...

IMO Sound Performance has the best header around (the BL is very nice though bean), beautiful downpipe also, and their cust svc is second to none.....I call there and they all know me by my first name, and before that I was 'sir.' I can't say enough about their product or service. I'm with SC300TURBO though, in general if you want to go cheap, expect to get what you pay for...that is not a dig at Dave H, whom I have respect for.

Not that it matters for you.. but the BL header lets you keep the distributor while still allowing a 4" turbo inlet. And you can make however much power you want with the BL kit... depending on which turbo you choose and how much you want to spend on electronics, fuel, etc.
