Turbo kit is now available at TurboDiscounters.com

I called them up today and he said the extreme kit is gonna run anywhere from 2600.00 to 2800.00 and the kit is designed to run 16 psi, it comes with everything and its a complete bolt on. Keep AC and PS and the fuel system is taken care of by bigger injectors. I have already preordered the kit and its ETA is in 4 weeks from today. I can install this kit and still keep factory warranty with the sponsership i have with my dealership. Ill keep you updated. Im wondering if they can hook my up with a larger turbo tho.
Kit contains *
1 Garett Turbo (size is depending on kit ordered)
1 Down Pipe
1 High Nickel Composite Cast Exhaust Manifold
1 Fuel Pressure Regulator
1 Injection Control Unit
1 Injector interface block with injectors
1 Blow off valve
1 High flow intercooler with all mounting hardware, pressure tubes,
rubber hose connections and clamps
1 Map unit (Black Box)
1 Oil Return Line and Fitting
1 Air Filter with piping
i cant wait! said to produce close to 75hp at the wheels he said

There is also a smaller kit called the superior kit and its not as much money. and doesnt consist of the same components

He said it goes up to 16 psi. You can not push 16 psi unless you upgrade your fuel system and internals. Stock motor can not hold that much power.

Great info. I'd like to know if it works with the LX models since that's what I got. I wouldn't think V-tec would make a difference for the application.

Also is there a link to the company or how/where to purchase the kit?

the only thing that worries me, is are those brand name parts, or just cheap pos's. because i'd feel safer if they had brand name parts in their turbo packages. if i'm gonna turbo my car i would do it right the first time ......... you get what you pay for

i don't think bigger injectors would do it for me... what if later down the line i do some internal work and decided to boost more?? i would still need more fuel and i think new injectors would come short of what i need.... sf turbo kit comes with a secondary fuel pump and management system... it's too early to say which kit i want because there are only numbers out for the sf kit... once the numbers from the turbo discounters kit comes out, i'll decide from there....

are you sure?? cause there needs to be different downpipe sizes for the kits seeing how the cats on the LX/DX are different from the cat placement on the EX...

Man, I'm hoping that's true because I have an LX as well.

he has different kits for the different trim levels as far as parts they are all brand name but im still wiggin on the fuel system. I wonder what else would be neccesasary to run a higher level of boost besides internals. Im also gonna ask about a larger turbo

Because the kit is using the new Dual Ball Bearing Center, as opposed to Garrett's conventional floating center it turned out to be a higher price then we were expecting. But the Ball Bearing Center Turbo is a sweet unit, it's worth the extra price!

The design of a turbo actually makes the car run cleaner, however you are modifying the way your exhaust system works and the smog guys don't always like this. Check with other drivers in VA and see what they went through when they had to test smog.

If you look at our sponsored car from last weekend's SEMA IAS show, you can see some great pictures of the piping.

The pipes are metal, with rubber seals holding the pieces together. It gives a nice look and can easily handle the pressure.
