Ofcourse, doesnt fit must be the companys problem. Although, honestly I think you are full of **** and just trying to give this company a bad rep, your post in completely uninformative. You dont have any pictures of the kit, and in your post you do not hesitate to say that you are buying Brand X instead of Brand Y which leads me to believe that you are only trying to decieve people. Please, unless you intend on giving a detailed post please dont post things like "Max-Rev = ****" atleast have some photos available when you make claims like this. Did you even try to contact Max-rev and see what the problem was? then your post was a complete waste.

to hell with internally wastegated kits. max revs manifold is the ****, and took a whopping 2 days to get to me. thats why u go COD, dont pay before u get, all they do is take the money and then send the kit when they damn well please. and does this SF kit have a website, bc ive tried lookin, with no luck, i dont like have the intercooler piping coming out the same side that it goes in either.

SF> any turbo kits

how about "my setup"> over any TD SF or MAX REV, why bc from the picts ive seen of these kits mine looks better, and i dont have picts til wednesday

You and smokies setup will rape everything else. My opinion is that the max rev manifold is far superior to SF's.

They shaved part of the shroud to make mine fit... but eventually, I'll probably change to something with a thinner profile. Either way, mine is all installed with some slight mods. Fuel is being started tomorrow. Hopefully I can get some numbers by Friday... or maybe my car which I haven't driven in over a week )

If any of you have any doubts about the Stafford Fabrication turbo system, i would love to give you a ride in my car. Let me put it this way, at 11 psi, i was hanging with a Z06. How many civic's do you know of can do that?

And C2i0v0i1c, we offer an externally wastegated manifold. I will assume you missed that Just look at Smokie's car, that is our manifold.

And until you get some numbers and pictures, say "in my honest opinion..... (insert COMMENT here)" not "i know (insert COMMENT here) because my mechanic said so"

I was nice enough to post all my info and let you guys decide, so you should have the same courtesy.

i never said u have to buy MY KIT, mainly bc MY KIT isnt a KIT at all, i pieced it together

and "IN MY HONEST OPINION" there are a few reasons i dont like SF kit, and im entitled to my opinion.

until i see a www.sf.com or www.staffordfabrications.com or any other variation of that where i can look at stuff see things other than the talk and pictures on this site, i just really dont like the looks of it, and how many civics do i know that can hang with a Z06, im talking lamboghini's round here, ive watched one beat it, and the hatch thats in my ride picts can hold its own on just about anything, except for highly modified bikes

I was thinkin bout it, for the 3 grand I am gonna spend on a turbo kit. I could get a 250R Ninja brand new from the factory, it has a standing 1/4 of 14.2 gets 80 miles per gallon, and would look far more bad *** than I could ever dream to make my civic. Plus then I dont mess up my daily driver. But my parents would be pissed, so Im sticking with the turbo :'(

I'll post pics on Wednesday. I'm supposed to go to the shop for a walkaround to check out all the work they did. But the job with the external wastegate and being rerouted back into the downpipe was A+ work. I didn't even expect them to do it.
