kit:

You just need to know how to turn a wrench and have patience!

I thought you were going to ask us which was better, then you would have gotten kicked in the nuts.

I'm slowly working on my turbo kit, LS block build up is first.

Homemade OWNS kits

KIT:
No install headaches. Everything fits, usually the first time.
No parts purchasing headaches when people scam/send you the wrong parts as you collect dozens of parts from dozens of sources.
It is pretty after it is installed. Bling, bling, bling!

Custom:
Nothing fits without trimming, torquing, swearing.
You will probably be ripped off at least once.
It is ghetto-fabulous! Rust, scratches & dings!

Not saying I'd ever buy a kit, for most of the reasons listed above. But, don't fool anybody, it ain't all roses.
If you are hands-on - do it yourself. If you are well-off - pay someone. It is all the same on the track.

hey dood, I heard about that place in your sig, do they sell fast kits?

chevy

all the same on the track? are u serious!! lets see lets buy a $3000 kit and up or build ur own for a fraction of the cost!! also if u cant figure out how to fab and install somthing u made then whats the chances u would now how to install a kit? in that case u would pay some one to put it on meaning a 3000 thousand dollar kit just turned into a $5000 dollar kit... hmt owns

So I take it you got the injectors?

This makes no sense. What does the cost of the kit have to do with how you run on the track. Thats what he meant when he said its all the same on the track. In the end a turbo is still a turbo.
