Default New to Board...about to get a Kit

Im new to turbos but not new to Hondas. I have a 89 CRX Si with a DOHC ZC, PG7 ECU. IÂ’m am going to boost it here as soon as I find a good/cheap kit. Looking for only 160-170whp. I will tell you up from that I don't want to spend much on this. I have a child and thatÂ’s more important. I am looking at a kit that TSI makes with a T20, all piping, FMU...etc. No IC or BOV. My question is has anyone used this kit, or heard of it. And how well does the fuel management hold up. I will only stay at the default 5-6psi. Just want to know if this setup will be reliable for everyday use. Any insight would be great.

thanks
btw heres a link to the kit

How much are you looking to spend? I know your new to turbos, but with a little research you could piece together everything you need for very cheap. Have you seen this site?

edit: try this site also:

Looking at about $1400 or so. I have seen that site many times. most of those setups you can't keep AC and with a 2 year old that’s not a option. Further more I was just looking to buy a kit and save the time and headaches of putting one together myself . So I was looking at the TSI T20 Kit for $1350 shipped.

Can't keep a/c? What are you talking about?

Preferably from a Drag or Revhard kit <FONT SIZE="3"><FONT COLOR="red">(So you can retain your air conditioning system).</FONT></FONT> There are some people on http://www.thepartstrader.com that sell these for around $200-$300 used! I've seen some custom ones on there for $600! However, for our project, lets just use a turbo manifold from a Drag or Revhard kit. If you are lucky, you can pick up a used one locally from someone for $250 or so. </TD></TR></TABLE>

from here
If you would have bothered to read the site :sigh:

And you would get a lot more for the money, but if you want a kit that is fine - its no real headache to put your own kit together, esp since I just showed you a site that tells you how to do it, and since you have a 2 year old kid, you probably want the best bang for the buck.

Since you don't want too much power just get the HF manifold and put the T3 adapter on it and get a T3.

I did say most kits. Such as most of the HF mani setups. But back the question at hand. Has anyone seen or use this kit that I am referencing to?

btw
thanks for the link to the parts trader slashDEVslashNULL
