Well, this is nice and all but dosen't realy mean much since it's your opinion based on not owning the kits. I mean I would feel alot better if someone made a writeup that was colabed with people that actualy owned the kit in question. For example:
The first sentance in "I have heard"... that's a little disconcering to me. Non the less, good job writing the info portion up.
Summary:
I have heard mixed reviews about this kit. People who are using it love it. Some others don’t care for it. This kit also allows keeping of the a/c and p/s. The manifold is cast (not stainless) and uses a heat shield. I don’t know the quality of the manifold but I doubt anyone using this kit will try to push more than 10 psi through it, so it should hold up fine. They also put a 5 year warranty on cast parts and a one year warranty on other accessories.

And, Shoeless, I had heard Mike Stafford was still marketing Celica kits. It was a once available kit and there are still people that were trying to sell them and I wanted to put some info on this kit because people still ask about them in the fi forum.

Rep Power: 256 Good info brother!
The only problem that we will continue seeing posts that read: "Well, does any one know who makes a turbo kit for our cars?"
But overall: the info servers its purpose.

Rep Power: 363 I am currently running the TSI Extreme Kit with a t28 BB turbo and pushing 12 psi on an 2002 EX Sedan automatic. The tranny has been rebuilt using the TCI Auto Stage 2 Kit. So far I've had nothing but awesome driving experience out of the install. Currently i'm awaiting CV axles and then I am going to get into the dyno hopefully so I can post up some numbers. This kit is easy to install with minimal modification to anything.

Hey all, I have never heard of this kit and I keep up on the forums, at least reading, not posting too much lately. I apologized if this has been covered. Anyways here is the website http://www.xclusivecustomimports.com/
I emailed them and they said that they plan on releasing a turbo kit at the end of July for the 7th gen civic. They say its a complete kit, nothing else to buy, but there always is something else to buy. And the best price is the price. They said it would be $2400, and maybe $2200 for an introudctory price. If the kit looks like the picture on their website, it looks like it might now be too shabby. Take a look at that manifold! It doesn't look like some of that homemade garbage I've seen lately. I emailed them back asking for a list of what's included in the kit.
PS i tried posting a new topic for this kit, but it never made the thread when I hit submit, must be some kind of bug they are working out...

I'll leave it sticky for a few weeks so people can add their $0.02 for their kits as well....
Plus I have added it to the Turbo FAQ....

Whats going on Ive been researching kits for my 01 ex and the only one besides a custom one is the TCI extreme on turbokits.com. I was glad to hear about someone finaly using it. Anyway I just wanted to know what fuel option u took and wether or not you switched your internals out? I Can't find axles for my car either cause I know later when I run more hp that I could break the axle. Did u put the kit in yourself?

Rep Power: 325 I stated my opinion on fuel setups in the 1st post. Only way to go is bigger injectors, fuel pump and emanage. I'm running stock axles. Yes I put the kit in myself. No, I don't have internals yet. Do a little searching and you'll find everything you need to know.

Rep Power: 0 Few question - intake mnaifold, exhaust manifold, wastegates
Great information.
Would you recommend using a set-up with an internal wastegate or an external wastegate.
What kind of intake manifold do you recommend?
Do you know of any throttle bodies which will fit the D17 engine?
Can I see a few pictures of your set-up
Thanks,
Jeff Wasiliw
