Thanks man. I don't have any experience with the Greddy kit, but initially looked at it (and the JWT kit) due to easier options for mounting my coolers. I also didn't want to move around all of the reservoirs, etc. I had in my engine bay. The pricing on the GTM kit was compelling enough, however, that I went that route anyway. The only minor gripe I have thus far is that I still haven't found a suitable place to put my coolers - the transmission and oil coolers are now mounted between the intercooler and radiator. I want to put them back behind the vents in my kuruma so I may end up standing them up long ways so they clear the GTM I/C and intake piping.
