Question XS T04S & Apexi FMIC VS Greddy T78 & 3row FMIC ??

i already ordered a T04S but it has had numerous delays... i'm thinking about switching to get a T78 kit and 3row FMIC and selling my apexi fmic, i already got. seems to be the T78 kit is nicer than the XS with ss manifold and will have bolt in piping and will yield more power

I had a T88 Turbo kit and it really doesn't lag that much, it's still drivable in the street.

The T-78 kit is VERY nice. I wish I had that manifold! The lag isn't too bad with the T-78, even with my weird setup.

The T-51 is a badass turbo. I saw a kit for a Supra 2 months ago and it is VERY nice. Damnit, now I want to change my turbo.

Vos,
You ought to really consider the KKK. I love it. Makes gobs more power down low than the T78 and more on top as well. Look at my dyno graph and look at a T78 dyno graph. The T78 doesn't really start to make power till 5k. The KKK starts at 3500! This thing is a beast.

T-78s are NOT lag monsters, To me they drive almost like stock twins.(Note: I said "almost") There is no noticeble lag to get really annoyed about. Its Really streetable and drivable.
