Visual = probably not (at least in CA), actual = yes. If you look at how a turbo works (any turbo system, not just ours) you'll see why. You take the exhuast recycle and reheat it. The end result is much cleaner emissions. Turbo every car for a greener planet!!!

I know this is going to seem like a stupid(and probably is). I noticed that you guys are talking about this group buy section and all. I am also very interested in the TD kit, but I do now know where this Group buy section is or how to come about doing it? I am new so I apologize for having to go about finding out things this way.

I did see a turbo kit for 01+ Civics on the greddy site months ago, it was only up for a week or two and then they took it down. So they do or did have one at some point, they're just not selling it. Or it was a typo.

hey not trying to break into this thread but if t.d. needs a shop to do the install in southern ca. i'd be willing to do an install.We could do an install comparisson(time & difficulty).If you"re willing we could have a local dyno shop pull some numbers. we could possibly get some free pulls if its in a mag.

Whoever is getting a turbo should get it from him because he knows what he is talking about and the setup looks very clean. Just my .02

SFPower, if I bought the TurboDiscounters kit how much would you charge me for the install? I'd be willing to do that. I saw that you charge $100 to install your kit, but how much TD's kit?

We had the dyno done this morning. It was done on a 94 Civic D16 SOHC V-Tek. No mods except for our T25 Extreme kit. The wastegate is set to 6 lbs of boost. The car gets 130 hp at the crank (stock) and according to today's dyno with our kit we got 172 HP at the wheels:

those number would be good for an lx, but we were expecting more from the EX. Expecially how you said it was 130 at the crank stock, and the lx is more around 115 - 120. the lx (stock w/ sf turbo) made 165 hp and 166 tq at the wheels, and the ex (stock w/ td turbo) 174. The vtec helps out a lot with the turbo. I want to see what our kit will do with the ex (where are you iamboo???)

maybe.. now dont take this wrong. Maybe if you didnt come on here and type like a five year old with a severe case of narcolepsy you would sell more turbo kits?

i believe that your reaction time is a little slow to be accusing someone of being 5 years old. Also, can you build a show car quality turbo kit? I bet not. So i guess he is an extremely talented 5 year old, and you are an extremely slow (im guessing) high school or college drop out.

So please quit bringing up something someone said weeks ago, and get a life.
