what do you guys think of these d series turbo kits?

i'm looking at a few options for the next daily driver. i was just reading about turbo kits and had a couple questions. is a t25/t28 a good turbo for a d16z6? or should i just get a regular t25 off of an sr20 or something?

or would something like this be a good choice.
-manifold and downpipe
-tdo4 turbo (spins freely no shaft play)
-all turbo piping and couplers
-apex duelchamber bov
-jrc fmic (kinda beat up)but still does the job
-both feed and return lines
-missing link
-greddy blue box(not e-mange)
-autotechnic boost and a/f gauge

im asking 750 firm

or this....

Greddy 15g manifold
Garrett T25 turbo (no shaft play,spins freely)
JRC 6" Intercooler
Greddy o2 sensor
Greddy Piping
Turbo XS bov
Autometer Boost Gauge
Tapped D-series oil pan
Couplers & Clamps

everything except fuel management, lines and downpipe ...

asking 1000

turbo sizing

Currently I am running a D16. I have used a T25 and now I have a T3/T4 57 trim on the same engine. I would get boost just off of idle for the T25 and now boost starts at 3K I am running 2.5 pipes with a fmic and I chipped the ECU. For the same amount of boost my wastegate is set for 8 psi and made a good bit more power with the larger turbo. Alot of people will say that about using a larger turbo and its true, they just work better and don't churn the air as much. Which causes heating and pumping losses. For me I won't go back to smaller turbos. Google Ray Hall compressor map and learn how to run the java program, it will match the turbo to what your goals are. That program was a huge advantage on making my choices. And remember if your goal is a daily driver keep the stock map so you can't go over 11 psi, it will keep you safe from toasting your stock block.
