Default Turbo kit? or Just turbo headers?

Whats more usefull to C4 owners/tuners?
A full "tuner" based kit which includes all hardware minus engine mods and tuning
Turbo headers for 321 stainless, down pipe reaching to the trans tunnel, Intercooler&plumbing,hoses and clamps, Blow off valve, T-series turbocharger, racegate wastegate.
Would require:
1)A purpose built shortblock to take full advantage, but low boost is ok on the stocker with expert tuning.
2)Any fuel injectors,standalone,or piggyback ecu and professional tuning

I voted for just the headers considering it's the most complex to fab. Besides, I've learned my lesson on these so called "kits" every engine is built different and turbos seem sensitive to other characteristics of the motor.

Therefore, as long as the manifolds are guaranteed to fit under the hood with various sizes of turbos (within reason of couse) then I'll just take the manifolds and buy the other components separately to match.

I doubt that you would get a good mix here. Most of us are do-it-yourselfers. Doing a kit for the stock engine would be the way to go and have "additional parts" for the not so stock engine. Also selling parts individually. Why not do all of the above??
