as for brand. they are all about the same. DC is an exellent unit. there is a new one, not sure of the brand the name has slipped my mind. it has been in the last few issues of turbo magazine....or maybe its import tuner.....which ever one has "power pages" they tested it on a 5th gen civic hatch and made impressive numbers on a tired motor.
the next question is whether you want tri-y (4-2-1) or a 4-1 unit. they both make power differently. i forget which gives power in what range. someone who knows more will have to share that information
