Here is a good kit its just expensive. MY personal favorite.
Full-Race Motorsports LLC Call us toll free at (866) FULL-RACE (http://www.full-race.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=22_717_756_927&products_id=1504&osCsid=42308e5a24d8ed604a0d86c3643a3af2)

Other good companys you can look at are "PeakBoost" and AFI(Arizona Forced Induction)

There are also a ton of companys that due custom kits for cars like LHT in St pete. I know if you ask in the forced induction part of honda-tech.com you'll get a ton of answers. Also many might just tell you to peice a kit together, but I like it coming ready to bolt with minor work.

Looks like with tthe Vecco kit you have to modify the downpipe, and the intake part of the piping if you don't have a gsr motor. Also you have to make a dumptube. The price is really cheap and you get to pick the size intercooler. I guess it really matters what you want to do with the car and how much you want to spend. If the turbo is just to add a bit more power but nothing insane you can go with a kit like this. You should expect to pay more money getting the downpipe fixed, intercooler piping fixed, and dumptube made. So I'd add those cost into the total cost when comparing kits. ;)

the vecco kit isn't a bad starter kit. the downpipe that is supplied with the kit is bs. you'll have to make a downpipe from scratch or buy a pre made one online. the intercooler piping doesnt need to be modified. and making a dumptube for the wastegate is a piece of cake all in all not a bad kit for the price. the only major draw back to the kit is the fact that it comes with a knock off greddy blow off valve
