I was thinking about getting a turbo kit for my stock eg hatch with a SOHC vtec. I see the complete kit on ebay I was wondering if anyone has tryed these. I am not going to boost it alot nor race it I just want to have fun and keep the AC and PS. Dont want to spend 2500 on a name brand kit. Let me know what you guys think about the kits.

 

All I have heard is junk, junk, junk. i'm in the process of a turbo build on my accord right now and i'm prob up near $3000 and that includes everything to the exhaust tip...even little things like gauges. i may go a little over 3k but you shouldn't cheap out on this build. anyways i can prob send you a list of parts with prices if you want. just pm me

 

If you dont have the cash to do it right the first time then you might as well scrap the idea of boosting your car...for one those kits are junk and you will be most likely replacing stuff left and right,I would suggest you save more money and buy a decent kit such as those found the sponsers marketplace...its definitly worth the money spent trust me,also search next time there are plenty of threads posted about ebay kits

 

They're junk...end of story. When you can pay $600 for a complete turbo kit, what would you expect?? Hell, my turbo alone is over $1100. Just know that you get what you pay for and there are plenty of threads around HT that will show you the carnage pics from these turbo kits. Get something good the first time...

Your turbo is gold plated though.

No, that's just a clever spray paint job and glitter

 

http://www.treadstoneperformance.com they have kits over that are pretty decent quality and under 2k. if i was to do another boost project, i would prob buy that one. keep in mind you'll still need some other stuff tho
