I think the base Greddy, with the smaller turbo, would be ideal for the 4-port? 250rwhp is a good number to expect out of the 4-port, most 6-port engines are looking at 300rwhp, with the exception of a few breaking 300+ to 400rwhp.
For the base Greddy kit, as long as the turbo and parts weren't made crappy, and as long as you don't change it out without being knowledgeable (increase the turbo without changing the wastegate, etc), then it shouldn't give you any trouble.

So what u mean was if i the base Greddy kit ..i just direct bolt on with my stock engine and dont need to do any tuning like set the compression or etc etc tuning stuff..cause in my state here.. there isnt any numbers of mechanic can actually do rotary..if direct bolt on only..then it shudn be any problem ..but if need some rotary expert to do tuning after the turbo kit installed .. then that will be a little problem for me..so i need to know if the greddy kit can just direct bolt on and replace some stuff like oil pan / air filter ..thats all .. thanks for giving me those info..i really appreciate it..

just contact BHR, get a NOS kit set up, and test out what 50hp feels like. If you like the power and want more on a daily basis, get a turbo and spend 5k+.
btw, I'll buy your used NOS kit back at 80% cost.

Totally agree . If anyone has any doubts they just need to see Cjickenwafers' latest dyno where he made 330whp before the aux. ports opened on his 6MT . At that point his motor was a 4 port ......
There is some doubt over what boost he was running at the time - perhaps as much as 18 psi so it's going to take someone with a few ***** to want to push that far .

Original Turbo 'd Auto !!
^^^ the apex seals come into play to be resistant to detonation.
The OEM are harder but more brittle and therefore dont like detonation.
Thats why people switch to an aftermarket seal..
I can run all the boost I want. Now if it goes "PING" at 15 psi, who knows. Seal could pop or not, and then I'm driving a time bomb waiting to go off.

send 15 - 20 psi through that throttle body!! jus make sure your fuel pump and/or injectors can handle it. After that its a wrap

just that you're clear about my statement.
I'm talking about 15psi on OEM seals not anyones aftermarket ones.
I have had detonation bad in my setup at 9psi. So far noting bad. hell, they could go on the next turbo.
