that turbo kit sounds like a complete piece of shit to me. it sounds like a garbage ebay one or something similar. if you are going to turbo your car, you have to be willing to spend the money on a real kit, or dont bother at all because you will have nothing but problems and risk ruining everything that currently runs fine for you. please save everyone the annoyance of giving you shit and go do some research in the 'Forced induction and swaps' section. every single question known to man about putting a turbo into our car has been asked and answered over and over again.
Yeah.. I kind of agree. On top of that I will add. A T04E turbo is on the very big side for a d17. Another big note for turbos in general: If you cheap out on things you will have problems from those things and things that are related. Cheap turbo = failing turbos.. blowing oil through the system etc. Cheap wastegate = problems with boost control, possible engine damage from boost spikes etc. You see where I'm going with this.
I'm using a dezod kit, which is good quality.. all be it of not the best design. On a completely shameless plug, I am pulling my turbo kit off over the weekend of the 17th. It's a dezod kit and has worked great for me. I'll have a FS thread soon.. keep an eye out for it if you are indeed serious about a turbo kit.
I can smell what the rock is cookin, and he's cookin up a pile of shit.. This my friend, is exactly what Tuned/Baron called it to be.. Some cheap knock off, manufactured in a chinese sweatshop, 'SUPER TURBO KIT!!'. This will net you a vicious cycle of issues on a perfectly sound machine at this point.
Seriously man, not to reiterate what has already been said but you just can't cheap out on something like this. This is not a simple 'bolt on mod' that you can slap on and forget about. You're tampering with some serious shit here that is more in depth than any of us would like it to be lol.. That turbo is quite large for the application, with that said I see no mention of building/reinforcing the bottom end to handle what you're cramming down it's throat.. What about some head studs, as well as the EMS, higher flowing injectors, upgraded fuel pump..? Plus, with any turbo application your exhaust system must get upgraded as well, I believe a 3-4" is recommended for boost but I could be wrong..
LOL, at this thread... Just take it like this, if it was the easy and cheap and good shit for ur motor, then everybody would be boosted on this forum... Nah Man it aint cheap when it come to a turbo word...
By the way Tuned, mad me laugh out loud.. From everything I've read, Foos did just about everything known to man to his little vic lol.
its completely true though, there is no way anyone should ever be asking these stupid questions like this.
and by the way, just so everyone can have another laugh, Warning - this may offend some of you boosted guys and make you want to vomit - viewer discretion is advised - xs power (your average no name brand turbo):
yes my friends, if any of you know any woodwork, or if we have any carpenters here....that is yellow carpenters glue. the kind of glue you stick two pieces of wood together with.

Don't bash so much guys.. Everyone starts somewhere. I mean asking questions is better than just doing and not having a clue. There was a guy that brought a 2000 civic si with a ching chong turbo on a b20 swap into the shop the other day. Said guy had the wastegate vac line hooked to the blow-off valve. Yeah.. something wrong with that one. At least he is asking.
are you guys serious? like sorry i asked the question.. im new with this shit and you have nothing better to do then chirp and say shit that i could care less about? I was asking a question in hope for some answers. Thanks to the guys that gave legitimate answers but you others that have nothing better to do then go from thread to thread and chirp people for asking questions suck my dick

I hope you hate having people tell you to chill out as much as I do. You need to chill out.

suck your dick? how about you GTFO of here you ignorant little homo. dont come on here asking the simplest of shit that takes absolutely zero effort to find answers to then start slinging comments at people. everyone in this thread helped you and everyone was laughing between each other more at the junky turbo kits than about you. you were given numerous urls and places to look and you still run your mouth like a little bitch. if youre going to ask something stupid dont cry about when someone gives you a hard time.
OK.. this thread went down hill fast. Just one more word of advice before I shut up and color. There aren't a lot of people in this community left who have a lot of knowledge about turboing these cars. Most of them have moved on to bigger and better things. If you genuinely want help and are humble about it, most of them would gladly go out of their way to help you. On the flip side, if you start freaking out and being rude those same people will just let you do what you want and let you blow your engine up.
