Getting This Turbo Kit Got a question

Here is what the Seller has listed on E-bay.

I reacently bought this kit brand new. I was going to install in on my 2000 civic ex. I was going to install it during my winter break but ran short on money because I have to pay for school. Here are the specs. These descriptions are exactly like the one from the person i bought the kit from. Sale is final, the product is sold as is.

Fits any "D"-series motor. including D15, D16 ( Z SERIES OK ) This manifold was custom-made to be used with a 35mm or 38mm external wastegate and this manifold and down-pipe allows you to retain A/C and power steering.

This manifold and downpipe is for Garrett T3 and T3/T4 Turbos. The manifold and down-pipe are both made out of SUS304 Hi-Grade Stainless to help disperse heat. This manifold is drag-race quality, and similarly design manifolds can be found on professional drag cars. Manifold has flange for an external wastegate. And since this manifold is tubular steel, it flows better than cheap cast iron and is less prone to cracking.

Down-pipe allows you to retain your A/C and power steering. There is a flange for the end of the down-pipe will bolt-on to your catalytic converter so you do no have to cut and weld your exhaust to make this down-pipe fit. Down-pipe also has a bung for the O2 sensor.

BUYER TO PAY ACTUAL SHIPPING
PIc of it to.




Here is my question, if I purchease this kit I don't seem to see that it comes with the Piping that connects from the Throttle body to the intercooler. " Isn't that the piping where the blowoff valve is" should it come with that piping, Do I need to buy it some where else? and if so, where else? is this a bad kit? I plan on purcheasing an intercooler, will that come with the piping I need. How does this work?

We have a D17. That kit won't fit your car.

Well, of course. But if he is looking for specific information about getting a turbo for his D15, then he could do much better than 7thgencivic.com.

I never thought it would hurt to ask, there ARE some people on this forum that know MORE then D17 engines... and if it bothers you that much that hes posting something about a d15 engine... well.. go walk it off...

It seems like an intercooler-less system. This makes charge temps into the TB higher, which hinders HP. Is the Del Sol motor built at all for boost (pistons, rods...)? What about fuel management? Engine management?

What size Intercooler do you think will fit the best on the Del Sol?

Will you think this one will work?
