DH Racings Turbo Kit?

What do all of you think of DH Racing's Turbo kit? I mean the turbo comes fully ported! It is alos a little bit cheaper than SF's Turbo kit as well.

Does the SF Kit come with a fully ported t03/t04 turbo?

Mabey it's really not the Stafford Fab kit. I dunno, but if DH's is only 2500 dollars, don't ya'll think that someones gonna go outta business? I mean, if I had the money now, I'd be buying the DH kit, b/c 2500 dollars... dayum!

There has to be a difference between them... does the kit come with mani, FCU, 320 cc inj, air intake, piping, hoses oil lines and all the other misc. hardware? I'd like to see the hp difference between the two =o

My guess is this:

Remember when they were saying they were going to release different stages of kits? This kit might just be "stage 1," ie no intercooler.....

Also - notice that it says that the kits are available for more cars than ours? I'm guessing that its like tornactives site, that $2500 is the starting price for one of the kits, and that others are more expensive......

umm dood they said front mounted intercooler on their site, i think its sfs kit, but the reason as to why its a lower price, and on this guys site, who knows? maybe the sf people can answer this one, if they ever check the board.

Doesn't the $3400 kit from SF include alcohol injection? I don't think this one does.

Hey yo, did you even bother to read what it says on the site:

"AVAILABLE FOR 2001 and UP Civic, K20 Motors, Accords, ect.... "

This means for MANY cars. Last time I checked, our manifolds, other parts, etc are NOT the same as the other cars listed. This is a red flag right there that the price is probably going to be higher. SF wouldn't take a $1000 price hit on his kit.....think about it...

^^^ i agree...i dont think they would horse around like that. There must be something different about the kit. Maybe SF provided the manifold or something...what i dont understand is why someone doesnt come in here a set everyone straight...im sure they have read it...i guess we'll see
