neither look like complete kits. greddy doesnt make a t3/4 kit, im curious to see what exactly makes up that first one. and the 2nd one is a ssauto chrome, which is generally regarded as garbage. the 2nd one is far from complete, and is missing lots of parts. i would pass on both unless you can get a lot more info about the 1st kit. .. the guy has 0 feedback and 0 pics, definitely sketchy. i wouldnt buy the 2nd regardless.

i didnt look at the links but just some advice. I wouldnt buy a turbo or anything big off of ebay. Go to a shop and talk to someone. That way if anything goes wrong you have someone to go to. With that kit you buy it and your on your own.

Yeah... I'm gonna go with "neither." I think the first one is going to be a little bit too large for your b16 and wouldn't be worth the cost to make it efficient. The second kit is being sold by someone with no feedback and one picture that looks like it was pulled from a site... so... aside from the fact that neither is complete... there you go...

I'm not sure if you'd be able to use the exhaust mani on your b16. The turbo would be fine and the rest of the kit seems to be intact. I don't know much about the Vortech FMU when paired with a GReddy kit. I doubt it's a suitable substitution for the e-Manage.
