it would be nice to have a little more specs on the turbo that you will be getting.

this comment from their page worries me a bit "Fuel management is not required but it is recommended for higher boost. " your gonna want a good fuel managment reguardless if you use a ebay kit or the best a company has to offer, lacking in this department(and tuning) is what breaks/melts stuff.(the missing link and check valves wont cut it either)

also with this kit your gonna need a half rad(92-00 civic style) because the wastegate will hit your stock integra radiator.

your gonna need a fuel pump. i see its offered for an up grade along with injectors(size ?),fuel rail and an fmu. but you really just need the injectors and fuel pump from thier full upgrade kit.

also little stuff like what kind of intercooler pipeing do they use(aluminum,stainless,mild steel?). how big is the intercooler?

so your gonna need some extra parts and its gonna start adding up. alot of this kit is unanswerd or they need more pictures to show you what your getting other than a turbo and mainfold.

would i buy it from what i seen? no

As you noticed, I moved your duplicate thread in here and locked it...

I wouldn't buy anything from anyone that tells you that "fuel management is not required" with a turbo kit. Kits were sold with FMUs and check valves like 8 years ago...let's all step in to the year 2006 now.. FMUs are a super barbaric way of forcing fuel into the engine under boost. Granted it will work for a while, but sooner, or later your rings will be shot due to too much fuel, or ring lands due to not enough fuel..you just won't know which you'll get because you'll have no way of controlling it.

I would definitely budget engine management with your purchase for sure.

They actually make really nice stuff overthere and at great prices
it would be a great choice if you can't buy full-race.com turbo kit.
