Rep Power: 284 i dunno about you guys, but i JUST WANT BOOST!!! Thats why this kit is looking soooooo good to me. I don't care about having THE best kit out there or pushing the stock motor and tranny as much as you can. All i can about right now is having a lil' extra power at my toe's and the sweet sweet sweet SWEET sound of a BOV. Plus the ability to own all the stupid ricers you find beside you at 60% of all stop lights.

that kit has been out awhile...
read the forced induction forums. T25bb turbo means no turbo lag but the top end hp wont be that great 8 psi will be like 165whp but thats instant hp vs the lag of a t3.
this is the best turbo kit for automatics on the market considering it is fully spooled by 2230rpms.
they also sell this kit at turbo discounters. Probally be the kit Im going to get considering it comes from a company with proven turbo kits.
Im not saying SF or dezod are bad and all but this one is the best setup up for a d17 unmodified block and auto tranny.

however the standard t3 boost for our cars is 7psi at 185whp. You will have that lag though!
its better with a stick because you can always build boost by simply reving.
3500rpms until 6500 rpms will be your maximum boost range on a T3

Rep Power: 284 how hard is it gonna be to get the intercooler that comes with the TSI kit to fit on my stock bumper? I checked out how much room i had and i got like 2 inches!!!! 
I got fog lights on my stock bumper, do i have to give those up. So what exactly do i have to do to my bumper to get a FMIC to fit? Dont say get a body kit, argh! I wanna keep OEM

T28 is a happy medium hks makes a manifold for our cars on a t28
I been arguing with people in the force induction threads for decades that the t3 is too big for our car...
it is it lags who cars how much hp you have if your going to get burned right off the start! catch up is pain in the ***.
seriously drive your car around? it flux around 2300 rpms side street to 3000rpms on the highway. This will mean while your driving your boost is built already with a t25bb remember t3 isnt spooled until 3500 rpms. just tap the pedal and bam instant lane change. Imagine this taping the peddle and omg the civic feels like its torquey! it will get up and go without that wicked n/a rpm lag.
anyways just had to say that. go with a bb turbo so much better than a regular. Also you cut away your front bumper to fit intercooler.
torque on tap is a great thing. Thats why I love the vette so much that and the fact it will smoke just about anything. I have yet to unleash c6 yet not passed 500 miles on it.

I have an upgraded t3 on my auto....i dont know why u guys say it lags so much. Its extremely driver friendly during normal driving sessions. And trust me, when I go to pass someone....that thing just soars. You people talk like it takes 10 seconds to make our cars hit 3000 rpm. Normally driving...i'm at 2000-2500. Last time I checked, our cars are pretty quick-reving, so within seconds I have more power and torque steer than I know what to do with.
Speculate all you want, I'm living it right now. I love the t3, I wouldnt have it any other way.

Dezod says t25 will tear an auto tranny up, now thats speculating because I havent heard of anyone with a t25 wrecking thier tranny yet.
