if you want an EX turbo.......
Yo Catalyst and SFPower... We appreciate all the hardwork you guys are putting in for the 7thGen Civic. It's cool that we finally have some hope of putting down some horsepower. Please give us some news as soon as you guys develop a turbo system for the EX. I'll be in line for one as soon as summer comes. Thanks.

it will be exactly like the Lx. it will replace the exhaust manifold ONLY. it will bolt up to your stock midpipe and catalytic converter. It will be like installing a header. just unbolt your exhaust manifold, and replace it with the turbo/manifold/downpipe combo.

Rep Power: 312 lol. It has been my experiance that the ball bearing turbos have nothing over the turbos that come in our kits. they say they last longer, but there are volvos with the same style turbos as ours that have 200,000 miles on their original turbo, and they are still good. I know this because when i had my first turbo kit, thats what i got my turbo off of, and thats how many miles it had on it.

Rep Power: 312 i cant tell you what RPM in 1st gear, because as soon as i make boost in 1st the tires break loose (around 3000 RPM). But i am making 6 psi in 2nd at about 3200rpm.

Rep Power: 0 FlameBoy hasn/t sent the header yet?
It has been 2 1/2 weeks since he posted he would...Isn't it too late.
I think Catalyst said that SF was putting the finishing touches on the EX model, and it would be ready by the end of the week.

Rep Power: 312 the EX downpipe is complete. We finished it 2 days ago, so the Ex kit is for sale. Look at the Group buy, you will see what the setup looks like in there.
