Anyone ordered from these guys? I don't feel like waiting 5 months for a SF kit. I also think the faster spooling of the t25 will be more useful than a larger turbo since i don't plan on running a lot of boost. I don't want to mess with the durability of the engine too much either. thanks.

couple people have the kit that i know of... They seem to really like it and it definately spools fast.

My sponser, Dezod, opened an account with turbo specialties, which is the main vendor for the T25bb kit... PM Dezod and see if you can get a quote off him for it, mention my name, hopfully he'll get you a good deal.

I was about to, during their last groupbuy in February, but I went with SF instead. With the time it took SF to finally start shipping kits out, I almost wish I went with TSI from the start.

I have the SF kit with the stage 2 turbo upgrade (BIIIIG turbo, ported and clipped).

Dezod would prob be able to get the turbo kit within a week's time.

hey guys, im new in modding but i'd like to get my little 03 Civic Ex Coupe some more horses......any suggestions? i'm willing to spend around $5000 for the whole thing. I have looked at Cybernation, yet I do not know what stage is best for the D17 engine....i'm just trying to get as many horses as I can, without swapping engines. Thanks guys!

I have that kit and I love it. I got mine from turbo discounters but it is the same kit. The fuel system is a little trick at first but once you have it down it is great. very easy to adjust your fuel for what ever you want to do. i have two setup. one for street and one for strip. Only downfall is that the intake pipe is kind of shitty but I upgraded that with an intake from ebay for $12. I run 9psi daily and 13psi at the track. ran a 13.9 at 11psi last time can't wait to see what I get at 13. The intercooler pipes are small so there is no boost loss from the turbo and power gets to the engine very fast. I hit full boost from a stop at 2600rpm. Grrrrrrrrrreat.
