Message I personally woudl go with the SZ kit.
The Z1 kit, some will say is easier to install because there are less parts & the long silicone are easier to maneuver into place, compared to hard pipes.
The less cost of the Z1 kit can be attributed to lass parts: less hose clamps, less aluminum, less silicone hoses.
The SZ kit will have better performance IMHO when both kits are installed properly.
The SZ kit has the tapered turbo outlet pipe that has a longer transition form 2.0" to 2.5", causing less turbulence in the piping & the tapered SZ pipe fits with more clearance between the upper intake plenum & the shock towers. The 2.5" Z1 (& other similar kits) turbo outlet pipe are more challenging to fit & they are more likely to rub.
Since you are looking to get the SZ turbo inlet kit, there is certainty that the IC piping kit will fit without challenges, as they are from the same brand.

I have installed most kits out there from all the brands & custom kits, as well as making my own, FWIW.
