Fitting turbo kit into early 5th gen

I'm planning on buying a vq30 (most likely 5th gen) *5spd of course* and plan on turbocharging. Which kit do you guys recommend out of pfi, hal, and nigel's? And mainly, with the recommended kit- what needs to be done to fit into the early 5th gen's?

Thanks.

PFI worked w/Nigel so they are basically the same kit. They dont work together anymore unfortunately but that was the 1 kit. Hal had a few complaints but I dont think it was because of the design, I think it was because the kit was sorta unfinished and required alot of modification. A couple of shoddy install jobs by Hal didnt help his case for the kit either. It seems to have good potential if its install properly from what I've seen.
PFI's kit is doing very well and is definately more popular. I use that one myself. The install is pretty staright forward but unless you're very good w/cars, it will require professional install. It come w/instructions too. They both do I think. Good luck.

Don't take this the wrong way, but if you have to ask which kit to buy you have not reasearched enough.

Trust me on this, the info for a 5th gen turbo is out there.
