That's what I heard as well.

Can't get one anywhere yet, although this one place (can't remember the name) is working on a kit which they claim will be out soon. HKS is also working on a kit, but they want it to be CARB exempt. That means more research and time. For now custom is the way to go IMO.

I guess I'll be waiting for someone on this site to get it and show dyno results. then i'll decide whether to go the HKS route or custom

That is the Fiber Images Civic.
And from what I have read that turbo is just for looks, and doesnt funtion as of yet.
Not saying that isnt going to change though.
