Which of the two is a more reliable product, and which of the two manufactures do you get the best performance to the wheels????????

It depends on which turbo you're wanting and how much power you want to make. I think Greddy uses Mitsubishi-based turbos. I'm not sure who manufactures HKS's turbos. Personally, I would choose an HKS turbo over Greddy. Everything that I've ever gotten from HKS has been top notch, and while most of the stuff I've gotten from Greddy is great too, one of my friends got one of their (Greddy) intercoolers and I was not impressed at all with the quality.
Anyway, they're both about in the same price range so I'd get which one is closest to your needs.

i have nothing agianst trust/greddy but there are very few products that i would buy from them. dont get me wrong they make good stuff, but i would rather get a product over them. like BKdaMoRoN said, i dont trust most intercoolers from greddy. ive heard to many horror storys from them and know a guy personally that blew his sr using the greddy ic. the ic was not the main problem but contributed to the problem by not keeping it at a optimal tempature. plus from what i have seen on the greddy ic, the quality of them didnt impress me one bit. to each man his own though, its all opinion.

what about Blitz and APEXi??? can we do a battle wetween them and then the winner of the 2 groups take on each other for the ultimate performance part maker?

I would say that HKS turbos are awesome, APEX electronis are awesome, BLITZ exhuats/intakes are awesome and that GReddy is just GReddy.

for the turbo i wouldgo with HKS. My friend has one and he has had no problems with it. On the exhaust side i would go a trust exhaust. I got the Trust TR Evo2 exhaut and it is top quality. And since it is imprted from Japan, it comes with a J.A.S.M.A. member card.

I would go with HKS over Greddy anyday. The ball bearing from the GT Turbo spool up a lot faster than the Greddy/Mitsu turbo. Oh, HKS turbo are made by Garrett Japan and they have different spec housing on them compare to the one here from Garrett USA. Also, the HKS turbo has water and oil cool lines so the turbo is more efficient. Greddy/Mitsu only uses oil cool and does not use water cool lines. However, Greddy did redesign the housing on the new T517Z and T618Z turbo which give better spool up. However, the lag is still very noticeable on the Greddy/Mitsu turbo.

I know that Greddy was mispelled, did not notice it, sorry to the greddy lovers.
I figured that you were being fecicious yet truthful in your spelling, indicating the very obvious and high priced items that Greddy sells...hence, greedy.

You wouldn't have been the first person to say this...
