didn't know they made one. turbo kit doesn't really have that many parts to it.. and if you have a honda, you so many options to mix match parts based on quality/price and still get excellent results

This would get a much better response in the Forced Induction forum.

 

MOST boosted ITR owners made their own kits

 

good info, thanks

couple things i dont like. it comes with engine managment and you might want something else like hondata. its internal wastegate, you get better results with external and you'd have to replace manifold or modify in order to intall external wastegate. then i don't know anything about their turbocharger specs, injectors are small.. often in a kit you end up replacing many parts and just spending more money in the end. there aren't that many parts to aquire for basic setup..

try FI forum, but i don't see anything amazing about using that particular kit over any other like greddy or whoever else makes one similar to that..

one main component in your kit is size of the turbo.. or your wallet.. determine the size of your wallet and boosting may not be the right thing to do in the first place - you should always include money for rebuild cause it will happen sooner or later. you start with that based on how much hp you want to make. you also want to choose the right manifold and matching downpipe and know about their clearance issues like a/c power steering or whatever else. then you want to use the right manufacturer turbo to match to these manifold and downpipe. you want a good brand wastegate, you want aluminum IC pipes, you want stainless steel exhaust parts including manifold even if its cast iron. you can get away with piping from ebay, even bov as long as you check quality of assembly or they will fail to work properly. gauges - its always good to invest in that direction or you wont know how your car is running. other modifications will depend on how much hp you're going to need, like pitons/rods/sleeves and if you need them, clutch/pp etc..

then theres money involved in fabrication, even if its a bolt on kit. go to the wrong shops and you'll pay an arm/leg. one way to save money is to purchase some parts like IC piping, dowpipe, dumptube from same type or car where everything already been modified and fabricated.

 

Here's a few threads I found, overall its not a bad system if you want a quick spooling turbo and not looking for lots of power.
