View Poll Results: Will this matter?
A nice sized T25/T28 like TSI at a similar pice will matter.
I know cost seems to be a great factor when turbo'ing the 7thgen. The idea was brought up of re-designing and re-releasing our turbo kit. Would you be more probable to purchase it if it came with a more appropriate sized turbo and little cheaper?

probably but the question is wats gonna reduce the cost besides the new turbo? i wouldnt mind a turbo that would really work good with an auto but sounds like you guys are cooking up something which i might b interested cause that stage 1 kit that you first came out with is pretty expensive but good none the less.
^^agree
and price is a large determining factor since most of us are on budgets anyway. I prolly could live with around 150-200 hp unlike some of the boost freaks on here. my wife thinks i drive to fast as it is even though she's the one always doing 70+ in her v6 grand am (she knows all the cops in town cause she used to give them free ice cream when she was a manager at DQ)
Well.............we can cut costs by a couple hundred dollars re-designing for intercooler piping and such, outsource our manifolds to HKS, use an internally wastegated turbo....

Yea thats how the TSI kit is, I have the Extreme TSI kit which is a cast manifold and internal wastegate. It did have a slightly lower cost and i've been successful running it at 12 PSI on my TCI auto built tranny with no issues and putting down good numbers. I beleive the biggest factor to everyone is cost or boost on a budget so I would agree for future boosters to see where you can cut cost without affecting the worthiness of what components are in your kit

Would this mean the kit you have now plus this new smaller turbo kit or totally redoing the whole kit. Because I want to buy the kit u have now for the price you have now Im starting to save up money now to get it in a couple of months if the supplies will last.

It would mean a whole new kit. I would act now if I were you.

thats a good salesman! anyways id rather have more boost for more money, than less boost for less money, thats the way it should be atleast thats what i think. if you have the money go all out if you dont and you HAVE to be boosted then settle for less, its your choice atleast it should be anyways.. What i would do is get the cheaper kit and replace a few things of my choice (if it came out to be cheaper than the original in the end that is). well thats just my spin. But then again he said they would do away with the old kit completely so looks like we dont have much of a choice, so with him saying that id rather keep it the same more boost for more money. if your gunna boost i would want to feel faster than the stock g@y SRT-4, i hate them!
Not to diss your current kit cause i think it looks AWESOME. But my LX with a GT28R on the HKS cast with auto trans @7psi out did yours on the dyno. IMO i think there could be some great potential with the HKS set-up. Granted you'll never see the BIG hp numbers as with an EL or even a GOOD log style

I used a T3 Super 60 with 8 PSI on an OK tune. I was also on a dyno in my town that was known for understating power. That was on our Beta kit. We are now on version 2. I wish I woulda redyno'd with this kit.

ok, i clicked other and here is why.
i like your stage one turbo setup- the t3/t4 is the selling point
i want the EX downpipe requirements to not cost 260 bucks extra just cause i have an EX. i guess 150 is ok, but still.
i love that a turbo timer is only 80 bucks in this kit.
Boost controller- i wish it was better price for a kit. but i guess its my choice to take it from you or buy on my own. scince it is a KIT. i would probably get it from you for less hassle.
RSX injectors-330- would that be enough? or is 400cc better for this kind of application?
and what about your equal length Turbo exhaust manifold? is that an option?
if the price was lower, i would start a turbo fund. definitley. don't get me wrong, im not trying to be a cheap bastard, im just sayin it would be sweet as shit to be boosted for an unbelievable price

400cc would have to be run with a different fuel rail and IM.
Our EL manifold will be an option VERY soon. We are considering making the catless downpipe for the EX an included option, but it costs us literally $125 in materials. We make next to nothing on those downpipe pieces. That cat on the catted piece, runs us $110 alone.

good stuff.. i was just about to get rid of my 01 lx,and buy an older civic to fix up .everything for this car costs to much for this model .that's not a bad price for the turbo kit.. but i'll probally do better by ripping that motor out and installing a si motor
