Hi Ken, welcome to us mad band of Kero Burners, Yes, the Boomerangs are a great way to start, a lot of jet jocks started with the Boomerang Intro, which was replaced by the very slightly larger Sprint. As regards turbine choice, the Sprint was introduced with the slightly more powerful turbine in mind, as the Intro was designed around the Jetcat P60/70/Wren 54 size motor, which push out around 12/14lb thrust, whereas the Sprint is able to accommodate the larger P80/P80se/Supersport etc. which will put out between 18/22lb's of thrust.
If you have bought, or are buying your kit from one of our major jet retailers, probably best to seek out their advice first.
Good luck, and welcome aboard.
