It's a piece of garbage that would destroy your motor within a few thousand kilometers and give very minor gains; a basic, but proper, turbo set-up would be at least 3k.

Re: d17 turbo kit ? any good ?

It's officially ebay turbo kit day on civicforums, this question has been asked... 3,4 times today?

I'm going to start copy and pasting responses, THEY WILL DESTORY YOUR MOTOR AND GIVE ALMOST NO GAINS! THEY ARE GARBAGE! WHY DO YOU THINK THEY'RE 20% OF THE PRICE OF OTHER SET-UPS!

seriously though, we're a nice forum so don't be intimidated by my occasional rants about ebay junk.
