ok so i tried doing the install of my kti and ran into a few problems. so i called a place to have them install it and its been there since last thursday. now they have a problem. the 2 extra injectors that you have to install the interface block dont fit on the throttle body. im hoping that they sent me the wrong part cause this is starting to piss me off, i should have had my car wednesday but they had to do some fab. to this dam car to fit this kit.
If anyone out there has this kit, did you have any trouble installing? cause i have read in the past on this forum that pople have done there own install for this kit. so now im looking into saturday, if not later. sucks.

/\/\hope i don't have the same problem. I'm buying a used T25bb kit, it should fit since it's been on a civic before, but PM thebigjap and NytRyder2k2. They're the only peeps up here i know of that have a TSI kit.
there is some one in oklahoma that ordered a tsi kit, man.... the charge pipe was rubbing against the pully, and the vafc that came with the kit will not work properly unless the fuel system is conveted to return, this kit is not easy to install, too many modifications need to be done to make it fit properly, i hope everything works for you, i would not buy this kit.

i mean i talk to the doo that is doing the install and he said its def not a direct bolt on and they had to do custom fab to make it work so far, and now this problem..i feel like i cant win with this dam thing. hoping for saturday but mostly likly with my luck monday or tuesday.
i mean its not that its a bad kit, too many ****in mods have to be made to fit this dam thing. for the amount of time this is taking you would think i am going to have a 10 sec car. its some bullshit. im going to call and complain to them and see if i can get money back for something, cause im getting so pissed off i might drive there after i get it done and shove my foot up there ass...
tsi is horrible!!! i have the t25 and was not able to install it. let me clarify, i could have installed it even without the worthless instructions but the oil pressure sensor adapter that comes with the kit broke off inside the threads of the sensor. the alluminun broke, it is so crappy!!! they sent me the wrong intercooler piping, no extra injectors or fuel pressure pump.
here is the crux, i have called tsi...count it 9 times, emailed 5 times no response...
i am going to box up the kit and send it back demanding a refund for such a deplorable product, my advice stay away!!!
did i mention that i had to use an electric sander to shape the right side of the manifold so that it would fit on the threads? oh, well now you know!!!
oh and the air filter looks like it was a left over from a clearance at kragen...

well i started installing the kit with my friend and i, and the manifold didnt fit..so i went to my neiboers house and grinded it down to fit.(the right side of it) made it fit..but there were so many other problems that i gave up and had my car towed to a shop..o yeah i forgot to mention that i called when i came across a problem and im still waiting for a call back. hense a week later still no call..now the shop came across this problem with the interface block..they called and no repsonse...so i called today and bitch them out, so now they are sending me the rigth part. im thinking of calling back and talking a manger and seeing if i can get money for this install , alteast something cause htis is going to cost me a shit load..i mean everything is on my car going great but this part. as of now thou, who the hell knows, prob run into somrhitng else then there going to go crazy. i dont understand how some poepl run a busniess. a desent amount of custom fab to make this work. not work it. but its too late now. i have to deal with it and get this straight.
I got the kit a year ago and installed it my self in 2 days. Only had to cut come of the bumper to make it fit. Sorry you are having these problems. The kit is a good kit. Runs hard. The fuel control computer is kind of tricky to get used to. You do not need a return fuel system. The fuel is added like nitrous. You just have to play with the settings to get the perfect mix. At 1psi start at 1.00ms and go up .6ms every psi. If you have any questions let me know
