F-Max Turbo - Opinions and Prices
I've already started saving for the F-Max turbo for my '99 Accord but I want to get some opinions on the turbo system itself. Any info is good info. Also what are you guys paying for the turbo? Thanks.

The quality of the product is great...the manifold and pipes are really top notch...and they use the Tial wg which is pretty much the best out there.
As for F-Max...their service level really sucks! Expect a least a 6 week wait if not more for the kit to arrive. I would make sure you go through a good distributor who is willing to back you up and get on their case for you...other than that...I personally think its the best and the closest to a 'complete' kit...but you should do the reseach on find all the pros and cons of each kit make a decision based on that...
if you want to learn more...do a search...I posted tons of info on the product last summer so read all my posts..

Re: F-Max Turbo - Opinions and Prices (97CivicFerio)
it took me about 2 month to get my fmax kit...they take forever and i recently found out that theres only 3 people that works there. 2 of 'em know nothing about cars and the one that knows...barely there. But overrall..I still think fmax is well worth the money...

Re: F-Max Turbo - Opinions and Prices (JPLockwood)
the fmax kit is top notch. the manifold is indestructible. everything is tig welded. the piping is bead rolled. the wastegate is closed loop. it actually comes with an air filter. i know cuz i used to be the sales guy there. the only issue i have with the kit is the fuel system. order the kit without the mf2 and additional injectors. if you're planning on running the baseline boost level of 7psi, get yourself a boost dependant fuel pressure regulator (fmu) and an in-tank fuel pump. if you plan on running more boost than that... go to http://www.hondata.com.
