I wouldnt be using this on a honda, and none of the kits out there have fuel management for under 3k.

This is a custom install, and I'd be using it on an audi 2.8.. or a chevy big block (el camino) in twin turbo application.. Both probably around 7psi.

no, its for sure not a complete 'bolt on' kit. Its the manifold, down pipe, turbo, intercooler and piping. All your needing are injectors, fuel management and oil lines. You could still easily do it for under a grand.

i installed an ebay kit on a friends car a few weeks ago

so far the turbo PUKES oil horrbily, the downpipe was pointed directly into the ground (---- *** premade didnt fit) and the 2 little bar braces that connect the flanges on the manifold fell off and then the 2 runners on cylinders 1 and 2 completely cracked all the way around, 2 cracks on the collector. daul horn RFL knock off doesnt work for ----.

the wastegate works but thats about it... GAY ----!
