not sure what you mean by kit??
This is homemadeturbo, we dont buy "kits"...
The turbo is a t25 from eclipse, manifold is from stock Civic VX, or CX, or HF, adaptor plate (to join the two) is from BMC Racing, intercooler from ebay, BOV from gen 1 eclipse, Injectors from Eclipse (450cc)... ECU I chipped myself and running basemap (phearable.net)... and on and on...

A local place here in Asheville NC.. Called Asheville Hose. paid $6 ft. Its labeled "tank truck hose, max pressure 140psi"

If you want some, and cant get it around there, I could get it for you, but shipping might be expensive.

Best way to cut it is with a chop saw; a knife just leaves the edge a little jagged since it's thick braided fiber and silicone layers.

Excuse me? Did John Vega (phearable.net) tell you to boost on a basemap? I've had no dealings with him whatsoever, but some extremely polite and softspoken people up and down the eastern seaboard have referred to him as a douche.

You want your car tuned correctly.

toobad I just sold my chip burner on ebay, I sure hope that it was you who bought it, why are you buying basemaps when you can make them yourself?
