I know Henry and Jackie both, they help me find parts for customers I can't find anywhere.. definately the most knowledgable guys in town. BUT, they have nothing to offer 7th gen civics besides the usual bolt-ons. In fact, I've talked to them several times about sending them some of my customers for custom turbos. They avoid doing ANYTHING custom if they can. Henry's exact words (even though he's hard to understand sometimes to a white guy) "We try to do bolt-on kits 99% of the time because of warranty issues, and it keeps customers from complaining" he also mentioned the fact that they are too busy to work on such a project for the number of people asking for it. Even H-town brought the idea of doing the k-swap to them, they brushed it off with a lame excuse. Trust me, all their swaps and turbos are done with kits. Don't get me wrong, I get a lot of advice, help, and hook-ups through them for my own shop. Just don't depend on them to provide a 7th gen turbo.
