[QUOTE="garrettpf, post: 4415882, member: 575445"] I wish I had a kit like that for my car and my car came with a turbo. I own a VW TDI (Turbo Direct Injection) and upgraded my turbo and had to make all the piping myself. The turbo and IC (InterCooler) alone came to over $1000. Then add to it the fittings, Down pipe and hoses and I don't even know what it cost. I have another turbo I want to put on and have to make everything new again, including retro fit the exhaust manifold. Kit looks good, Turbo is a hybrid and looks pretty fair. The one thing you need to keep in mind is engine managment. Once you put a turbo on a non-turbo car (or upgrade on a turboed car) you need to retune the engine. You should also have an A/R (air to fuel ratio) gauge before you do any of this! An EGT (Exhaust Gas Temp) gauge would be helpfull too [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] Other then that the kit looks pretty good and the price is darn good too (almost too good but I don't know the Honda stuff).
