i ordered the kit... did i make a mistake? i heard horror stories about the turbo failing within a few weeks... any drag owners plz reply here with comments

 

Why would you order a kit without researching it (unless your wealthy)?

I don't know If I should even continue.....

 

drag kit + civic Si B16 = hella fast Si.

if you know what you're doing, you wont have any problems.

 

3 things...
Fuel!
Fuel Management!
Don't boost more than 8psi w/ the kit as it comes!

 

i researched it alot.. but now the stories come out about the turbonetics charger failing.. and oil in the charge pipes.. you never bought something THEN AFTER buying it heard bad things?

 

You'll be fine if you treat 'er right. I have a B16 kit on my GS-R (piping doesn't fit perfectly, but it worse with some "customization"). Just be sure you don't rig up some ghetto fish tank valve for a boost controller with that delta gate. The delta gate comes w/ the kit for a reason, which means it only allows you to boost so much on stock internals. If you're going to build it, replace that piece of garbage, but until then, it's good for what it is. Oh, one other thing. TURBO OwNs J00!

 

And ditch that stupid waste gate that comes with it and get a TIAL!

 

Id say 3/4 of the boosted people here have T3's + T4's there reliable as your setup is. Get that bad boy tuned and boost away!!

 

I've been under the hood of my friends Drag 3 '00 Si more times than I care to admit, and he's never had any problem with the turbo. He's got at least three months on it and still running great.

 

up

 

for the most part, you shouldnt have any problems if you keep the boost under 7 psi. if you plan to boost more, get a standalone and tune it.

 

I love my drag kit, drag has pretty much turboed all of ht.com. Im only running .45 bar now with the tial, and im untuned. But that should change this week. Its a great kit, we had some fitment issues, but once its on and running right youll love it

 

I agree, proper fuel managment and a close watch at the EGT, you should be fine.

 

ive been at 5.5 psi for like 5 months..no problems yet..either way, your gonna spend more money to go faster..whether it be on internals or a standalone..keep saving

 

where are you hearing all these bad things man?
