heh heh heh, i tried that too u need plenty more. heres a complete list:
turbo
turbo exhaust manifold
downpipe
intercooler
blow off valve
feed/return oil lines
MAP sensor dealy (so it wont detect the extra pressure after boost)
boost gauge
turbo timer
boost controller
fuel system (best get the stafford fabrications one)
intercooler/turbo piping
and i think thats the complete list. i wanted to go cheap style turbo too, but if u want to run anything over 2lbs of boost u have to get at least whats on this list.

This turbo kit is undoubtedly the most popular turbo kit out for our 7thgen civics (although some could argue otherwise...not likely though)...this kit has proven itself to provide some of the best gains known to our generation of civics, and a number of our members have purchsed this kit.

packer5346, i can install your turbo, do you want me to? no. i have the know-how but really dont have much experience, hell i know how to put in new drivetrain (crank, pistons, rods, transmission, axles, etc) but i never have. so id say find someone who have actually done this cause if i do it, therell be a lot of sailor-like talk involved and lotsa time out to figure this and that out. or just have a local shop do it.

imp: You might still be able to get on Truehonda's Groupbuy. The price is down to like $400 of retail price. For $2750 you get a complete kit w/intercooler and fuel managment unit. Thats a frekin awsome deal.. Get it while you can, if you still can.. Look under group buys for SF kit under $2800...
