turbo kit... well... i'm gonna tell you something and it's been said over and over again...

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

if it takes spending the extra cash for quality, then do it. i was gonna peice a turbo kit together myself which is sometimes the cheapest route if you know people in the business. but i decided to ditch the idea and i went with the Stafford Fabrications kit.... they will help you with whatever questions that you have and their kit seems to put out the most power out of all the over kits out there...

so yea... that's just my opinion tho... i'm sure a lot of other members on this site would agree with me...

Nope!

http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...hreadid=126188

I have tried to help SF out but they don't want it.

I costs $2,000 roughly to get a CARB exemption ID tag.
Sales would explode in cali.

SF Does want the smog legal stuff but they have to have the funds to do so. There are other more important things that need to be done first.

well, as far as kits built by shops they are proven to be the best on this website from those that have them and the most reliable. he is not talking about kit that members have custom made and pieced together. iamboo, correct me if i am wrong, but he is talking about the kits from SF, maxrev, turbo discounters, etc. SF is proven to be the best
