Rep Power: 0 ok so what your saying is today your engine is nearly stock with a few mods and in one week you'll have a fully turbocharged car. I WISH i had the money and the time. but yes, i'd like to know if they're in stock to (just for the h-e-l-l of it)

Rep Power: 0 you plan on getting like everything? you know what a turbo actually does? you planning on getting the intercooler-i don't think its included in the package and all the proper gauges. do you know what PSI to run it at. are you adding any internals? are you gonna run with a 25 shot for low spools to prevent turbo lag? whats your plans? details man. i'm interested.
Ask me about your mom.

Rep Power: 315 the turbo-performance kit comes with gauges...or at least one gauge.
I can't remember now, but it comes with a lot of nice goodies.
Don't run higher than 5 without upgrading your internals. It might not be as fast as others...but your engine won't blow on you. Have patience, young skywalker, and your car won't explode on you.
then again, judging by the ca$h flow, I'm guessing that isn't an issue [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 wow lump 
yourself. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]...i think you shold get all of your internals done before the turbo. IMO. it'll make the turbo alot funner and faster when you can actually run at a decent boost level.

Rep Power: 0 how hard is it to install a turbo? you really want to know? its about as easy as giving birth...i just knew a kid who did it to a 420a engine...first off you have to make sure your car is running perfectly...almost as if it just came from the factory...then you can add the turbo and the entire air system that comes with it...than you have to calibrate the turbo to a certain psi (some factories already do this before they shipp it) where you wont use too much turbo....than you have to actually control the boost with a boost controller...and if you don't upgrade the engine don't run more than about 5 psi....

Rep Power: 416 doesnt the turbo performance kit convert our car into a return fuel system? if so i dont think this is for your average installer. especially if he's asking how to install it. if you still want to attempt it yourself, look for numberonehonda's turbo DIY.

Rep Power: 0 come on fellas!! hes not telling you he has it running at 50 psi. he's just asking if its a good kit. no need to call him a bser. hes not claiming he has it. hes only asking if its hard to install it cuz he plans to purchase it. eventhough vniliman is right about him now know crap about turbos, you dont need to insult the poor bastard.

Rep Power: 0 yes i know how to install the damn thing its easy the hardest part is to tap the oil pan but im gonna take it to a macine shop and get them to weld a nut on it so i can screw the oil line in instead of the usual piece that slides in and a nut on the other side and yes i know pleanty about this car ive had it for 2 years nd have installed every thing my self. but still dose any one know if there in stock? and im am going to get the kit for 3400 that comes with boost gauge and intercooler it dosent upgrade the fuel system. ill probley get a a/f ratio gauge and exhaust temp too. and im going to run 5 psi. o and i cant upgrade the engine because there arnt new rods or pistons or anything out for our car.

Rep Power: 0 Have some of you guys been living under a rock or something? This turbo kit has been out for awhile. Read the following threads:
( TURBO DIY )
( TURBO SWAP )
( Turbo Is Out )
The guy you want to talk to is: NUMBERoneHONDA. He can get you a better deal than what they actually tell you on www.turbo-performance.com.
