Need help t-78,t04e same price

I am in the process of buying a single turbo kit, I currently have
street port
spearco custom fmic 24x13x3.5
pettit power pulleys
apex exhaust
pettit resonated midpipe
apex power fc with commander
I have all fuel components so thats not an issue
I can get either a greddy t-78 kit or a xs t04e kit brand new with only about a $100 difference between the two. I am not looking to go to the track really and I dont live in a city so there isnt much stop and go traffic. I was wondering your opinion on which kit would be better for me for straight street use only. And I am also wondering about ease of installation. Im not sure if one kit requires more parts or labor to install. I know or the money the t-78 is a better deal but Im not really too concerened about that. Please give me any opinions on the two questions I asked and any other info or concerns you have.

I can tell you that they are hoping you choose the XS kit because they will be making bank off you on that.

Anyhow, I would go with the T-78. You wont regret it. Not saying the XS is a bad kit but if you can get the T-78 that cheap then go for it.

Both kits are similar to install.

The T-78 kit is usually about $500 more than the XS TO4E.

If you are buying them new from a vendor I know their cost on both kits or a ball park of what they get them for. There is a large gap in cost between the kits that if there is a $100 retail price difference they are making alot of money off the XS kit. If that made any sense

Then they are really making a killing if you buy the XS kit. They sell you the T-78 they are making very little off it. If they are willing to give the T-78 away I would go for that.

If thats the case I will cut you a great deal on the XS T04E. Only problem is they are backordered for 2 months so the T-78 may be your only option if you are in a hurry.
