Default Best Turbo Kit for the Buck?

Like many of you, I'm planning on turbocharging my car. so far there are 2 kits that are available, the Scionspeed kit and the ZPI Racing kit.
Just would like to get your opinions on both of them.....oh yea and if you guys know anything about the Turbonetics kit, I'd also appreciate the feedback.

Why not wait for supercharger? Is there a certain reason you want turbo?

the reason being, that i've always worked with turbo cars and got some experience tuning them, unlike supercharged cars i hardly know anything about.

well...lets see....ScionSpeed stage 1 turbo is like 260-300 hp.....at the wheels.....

TRD supercharger.....probably wont be 240....at the crank....

and they'd be pretty much the same price.....the SC may even be more......only good thing about the SC is the warranty.....

its kinda hard to really vote on this cause the kits arent actually out and on the street. both kits seem very well constructed and both companies seem to know what they are doing. ZPI claims to have a very unquie and aggressive tune with the emanage. i guess i vote for ZPI.
