I guess I should drag my motor-build pile over and kill two birds.

The SC kit has the advantage of a cleaner install, harder to screw something up. Also I don't have to worry about overboost, and once properly tuned I don't need to have extra gauges. With the turbo I would want a boost gauge at minimum. There doesn't appear to be a clean way to add gauges to the car without looking like a rice rocket.
Also the SC kit retains the stock driving characteristics.
yes look at pettit racing web site they have a hks software that shows on ur gps screen!
