They all suck! 
With GReddy's new 24R and 24V HUGE FMIC kits, those older kits are just too small.
Add the fact that those eBay IC cores (+ endtanks) are just too damn cheap for what you get.

GReddy requires a pretty good hole cut in the passenger side rad support.
The HKS claims you need an even bigger hole cut in the same position.

Ah, ok, the only one I've seen looked like it went under the radiator. Thanks for the info though! (I sure do hate how they wrap around and then come back out the passanger side and then accross the engine)

Why'd you like all the piping on the one side?

no cutting for me......the hole was already cut out from the rad support though when I got the car . As far as the cores being to small I believe they are still good for higher hp levels. If they weren't you wouldn't see people like rxtasy on teamfc3s.org that runs half bridges and huge turbos with them. I know he runs water injection but I've read the cores are good to about 450hp or so. Now I'm not saying the new ones aren't better but the old ones are fine for bnr upgrades and such and even smaller full turbo upgrades.
