Ok now does the Extreme Kit come with the Fuel System? From how i look at it it does, because looking at the comparision of the 2 the 1 Injection Control Unit, 1 Injector interface block with injectors is the Fuel System that is an additional $720. Could someone clarify this?

That's the way I read their list of parts for the two turbo kits.

Does it come with boost gauge? if not which boost gauge is good for their kit? also from my understanding the Extreme Kit comes with a turbo timer and harness?

The TD kit doesnt come with the gauges, check the site out and itll tell you exactally what your getting

is there a special Boost gauge or will any of them work like from autometer?

 
Rep Power: 375

any of them will work fine. As long as they are installed properly

 
Rep Power: 0

Yes, it does. And the interface will tell you your boost level, although it is not a dial. It's an LCD screen with push buttons above. You can navigate through the screens and see your boost level after a run.

 
Rep Power: 375

LCD, sweet a$$ sweet.

Sorry guys, brain fart. It's, LED, not LCD.



And the buttons are on the bottom. It's backlit blue.

 
Rep Power: 375

its still pretty freakin sweet looking, i really wish you guys had some numbers. If you gave me a discoount on the kit i might come up there and give you guys a donor car to dyno! LOL

I am very eager to put this on my 03 coupe. What kind of life span should we expect out of this kit? I mean if I spend the money, will it be "worn out" in thirty thousand miles?

 
Rep Power: 0

We don't guarantee any mileage, but all the parts are guaranteed for 1 year, and the manifold for 5 as long as you keep it at or under 7 psi.

Garrett is the number one selling turbo in the world, they make excellent turbos. And with the new ball bearing core, it's just going to last even longer. These turbos will last a long long time.

what about the kit tho i want the kit to last as long as you claim the turbo will

Any plans to have a car with this kit showcased in a popular magazine (maybe SCC)? I'm sure they would make a cover story out of it. I second the notion of having a good "review" of this kit and it's performance including some dyno runs.

 
Rep Power: 375

how doesnt want that. This is the only thing holding me and SPider from buying it now. One problem they dont have a 7thgen project car, the kit is still new so no one has it installed. One thing is still buggin me, the warranty i want a kit that i can raise the psi, this one you cant because itll voide the exhaust manifold warranty

 
Rep Power: 349

yep.. i would loan them my car for two weeks bc im going on vacation and wont need her but im all the way across the country

 
Rep Power: 375

I would too but having someone else install it beside my dealer would void my warranty. I can keep my 3yr warranty if i install it at Honda with a tech by my side. DAMNIT
Hey spider what do you think about the PSI thing? IM not liking that idea

 
Rep Power: 349

i dont really care about my car warrenty from my dealer.. but i would like the warrenty on the turbo system.. bc if for some reason the turbo blows it aint cheap and i just cant go to the junkyard to get a new one like i can with other parts for my car

 
Rep Power: 375

i too am worried about the warranty for the turbo but i would take it to get them to use it as a test car but the warranty issue is a pain. But i want the turbo warranty but i dont think i could spend all that cash on internals and not be able to use it

The rest of the kit (after the turbo) is a very simple system, not terribly many moving parts so there isn't much to break down. A lot of care goes into these kits to make sure they'll last a long time. Since we're marketing towards daily drivers they need to be able to stand up to longer commutes, and they really do.

I had a few magazines hand me their cards when we showed our sponsored Accord a few weeks ago, maybe something will happen there, but I'm not holding my breath.

I assume you mean "business" cards, I would prefer it if you meant "credit" cards. It's a shame that they don't realize that an exclusive write up this early in the game is sort of a milestone accomplishment.

yeah, business cards, not credit cards

To show a bit more what the ICU does and how it works I've updated the fuel systems page on our web site:

Fuel Systems Page at TurboDiscounters.com

I went through all the screens of the ICU and described what they do, and how they can be changed. It's a great unit.

I'm not terribly happy with the pictures, I powered the unit with a 9V battery and between the gap of 3 missing volts and the the camera flash into an LCD screen - well, it was just a hard photo shoot.

 
Rep Power: 375

I really want this thing and im even willing to buy w/o dyno numbers and things like that but i want the turbo and i want to run a higher boost once the internals are taken care of. If this is done ill loose warranty correct. Anything over 7psi.

The injector control unit is interesting. Do you make them in-house, or do you have someone make them? If you make them yourself, that is quite an accomplishment.

 
Rep Power: 326

I was noticing the injector assembly myself. Looks to be very well made. I looked through the whole group buy...is it possible for my to buy the Superior but add my own BOV and Intercooler? Basically, I like your turbo, love the fuel system, but want a small spearco FM, and an HKS SS BOV. Thank you. If that isn't possible...are you considering at all on just selling the manifold? I currently own a T25 without BB, but the faster I get this started the better. Thanks again.

Okay, even before the warranty FAQ went up on the website I knew I would get slack about it. So I've been fighting to get it changed. The FAQ at TurboDiscounters.com has been changed. There is no longer a 7 psi limit.

They are made for us but an outside company.

Yes, that'll work great.

I would really like to get this kit. Unfortunately, it's hard in my current situation to save the $3,100.00 for it. Even with the discount at group buy at $2675.00 (?) it still is heafty to me. Any ideas other than saving for an eternity or getting turned down for a large personal loan from my bank? I really don't know what answer I am looking for. Just wish the market was so big that a complany like this can do payment method of some sort. I know I know...Wishful thinking.



BTW I read somewhere that there is no shipping charge within the US. What about tax? Just curious.

 
Rep Power: 0

Yup, no shipping charges in the lower 48, reduced shipping everywhere else (see the GD thread). Tax (8.025 %) only if your shipping / billing address is in California. (Which it looks like you are.)

Regarding your first, uh, question, I wish I could help. I think we're all in the same boat, there is always something(s) we want to do to our car(s) that's just beyond our financial reach. Hang in there, save up what you can. Decide what's most important to you for your car and if it's our turbo you'll get it eventually.
