which HKS kit to get???

i am looking to buy a an HKS turbo kit over x-mas break. i am really interested in the T04R. i have a 94 FD with new motor and tranny. motor has about 30k on it. i have new 1600cc injectors and nippondenso fuel pump. i also have an apexi pfc and greddy elbow with a type-s BOV. now i guess my question is what HKS kit should i go with? ive shopped around and done my research and i just love the results of the T04R. greddy 3-row i/c is on the way and my motor is stock so im not sure ill get the best results but i want to know what numbers i could expect with a good tune afterwards. rx7.com will be doing all the tuning for me as well, im a houston local so they are not far at all from where i live. please help me out, i need some GOOD advice.

- Mike

For the money that kit is not worth it. You can get the same results out of a kit that is alot less money. Just my opinion.

You would see a little over 400HP at 15lbs of boost.

Which HKS kit to get? The answer NONE! They are all way over priced. The use off the shelf for slightly modified Garrett turbos. Do yourself a favor and save the money for something else and buy another kit or piece together your own.

Work with A spec, KG, Rotary extreme, etc, youn will save a mint, and you will be able to get your turbo serviced inexpensively at any Garrett dealer. To save even more, piece it together your self. Either way, you'll save ~1-2 grand VS an HKS kit. Carl

It really depends on how much power you want to make coupled with how much lag you can stand.

T04S is the strip kit and the T04E is the street.
