as long as a proper research is done, then its all good. mixing and matching turbo kits have its own ad & dis-advantages.
here is a quick list:
- turbo size vs. extractor diameter (& style of diameter)
- turbo size vs. engine size
- turbine blades vs. turbo housing vs. engine size
- turbo size vs. cooler size/piping diameter
- turbo size vs. compression ratio vs. boost level
- piping route
- turbo size vs. injector size vs. max duty cycle
- ecu management vs. turbo kit
- intake & BOV style/location etc.
- a good reputable turner vs. turbo kit/ecu

all these variables will result a decent setup or a setup that will last you a few weeks of sprinted driving.

yes you can, but it take more than just an off-the-shelt ecu managemnet to go with a mixed and matched turbo kit.
it can be done, and i have done it before with microtech.

a good/reptuable turner is one of the most important thing when you are turboing a N/A engine from the factory.
most people would search for a good turner (local area preferrably) and what he/she is able to tune before settle with a make/model ecu.

aza said that he can't mix and match the kit if he wants to use the emanage.

If he changes the kit significantly he'll need to go with something else (motec, microtec, hondata etc)

and azas car is fairly well built and hondata powered with a dave tune so i think his got his shit down to

i dono what your trying to prove ezzy to be honest.... Greddy kit with a cooler and eventually tuned on hondata with a dave or james tune wouldnt be to bad ? And the Greddy kit is built for the car so there wouldnt be much mix and match other then the obvious cooler and fuel pump etc ?
