turbo kit for a your d17.

im sure everyone has seen this through the links above. if not truehonda.com is now selling turbo kits for our d17's. im having thoughts of going for it and buying the kit but then again im having second thoughts since there's no return or warranty on the beezzy. i was just curious if anyone actually purchased this kit for their d17 yet and if anyone has any opinions on it before i make my own decisions. anything is appreciated.

no im saying if your nto sure but want the same kit buy it straight from dezod they have great customer service, but truehonda has awsome customer service as well. Both companies sell here on the forums so you can just pm them and they respond back real fast. Eddie is truehonda's rep and Paul is dezod's rep.

TeamSFk20a, i haven't heard of piping or turbo's breaking when they are shipped. If you scared to do it then don't do it.

yeah its kind of hard to break somehting on a turbo setup seeing as its all metal. maybe a dent in a pipe or something, but even then slim chances. as far as warranty goes its a turbo setup if you install everything right there shoudln't be anything to go wrong with it. only think i might be able to think of is the turbo crapping out. but don't really see that happening.

(Its not a good turbo kit if it breaks while in shipping, any part of it)

The kit they sell is ours. So, it does not matter either way you purchase. We are turbo pros here and we can offer unparalleled support on items at hand.

With respect to that policy, that was because in the past, people would order a kit, get it in front of them ready to install then go OMG what did I just do......I gotta return this, I am over my head.....OR they would blow the turbo because of improper affixing, oil feed or drain and try to return the kit because they did not know the oil return on the turbo is gravity fed and they had a hump or a kink in the line........I can go on and on from what I have heard.

With respect to something breaking in shipment, not sure what would, a claim has to be filed with Fed EX and bam. If fulfilled, you get a new part.

If something is out fault, if the part will not fit no matter what, we will replace it. Do not mistake the fact of not having a warranty vs no refund or return.
