you really only have to worry about smog law if you're in CA, i think. you can piece one together for cheaper with an i.c. and bov. a t25 is small, you should go with a t3, i pieced my kit together for 1025 with brand new mani. and downpipe and afc. you just have to wait for different parts and ----

Re:HELP Me! Greddy or T25 kit?
u can do a kit for about 1200 bucks if you do it right...
get a used t3 with internal gate
one of em ebay manifolds
custom dp
intercooler
vafc
retard the timing a bit...
should be fine.
resistor box and 450 dsm blue tops will work great also..
custom is the way to go. prefab are rediculously overpriced for just shiny piping.

Re:HELP Me! Greddy or T25 kit?
The Greddy turbo isn't to hot, the kit that they sell for the d-series engines is a piece of ----. Without intercooling, and a method of better fuel management you can only run 4-5 psi... with retarded timing at the dizzy its about as quick as you were factory... I mean you'd be boning up $1500 for 20-30 horsepower - is that worth it? :P
Even if you buy their kit you will still need a blow off valve, and intercooler. The turbo itself isn't to shobby, but it does suck with the wastegate they produced for it (bad bleeder and creeper).
The kit wasn't designed for power IMO... it was designed for rich kids to put on their car, and say they have boost even though they're getting dick for power out of it lol.
And yes, I know, I picked up the whole kit used for $500... and I'm regretting it every day
