ok i'll go with F/I, but somethings i got to consider. (1)what come with most kits and what i have to buy to finish the project. (2)can it all be DIY? (3)the looks and safety.
for number 3 i have things to consider. like the greddy kit, it has pipes hanging above the engine which i don't like and doen't come with an intercooler, but adding that on is about the same price as anyother kits that comes with an intercooler. also i don't have to cut the crash bar which is good. for the others that come with an intercooler and looks clean in the engine bay i like but than i see that i will have to cut the crash bar a little which i don't want to do, but might have too.

and can some one tell me what i need to complete the project after buying the tubo it kit?(not sure which kit yet but just general need items) besides the clutch. cuzz i see fuel management as one of them and i don't exactly know what that is. is that the same as upgrading injectors?

When it comes down to Power/$$, the only thing better is nitrous. I only suggest running F/I if you know what you're doing and know how to maintain it. I see a lot of people turbo cars and not realize the oil needs be changed as often as the fuel and have the things blow due to lack of lubrication.
