DUDE!!!! Todd didn't send me a complete kit, no wonder why i had so much FU(K!NG trouble!!! You have alot of parts that didn't arrive with my kit.

1.) The blue oil fitting under the vacuum log
2.) H20 lines fittings
3.) My downpipe didn't have the bung welded in it

Lets see what you have that i didn't get.

everything I ordered was about $7,000.00. Nothing like putting half the cars original price in a turbo kit. I cant wait though. Its gonna be a sleeper till summer. I took my after market wheels off cuz of the salt they throw on the roads in ohio. Guys driving those civics with fart cans gonna be like "i just got waxed by an egg". Can't wait for that. Everyone messes with me just because im lowered and i have a dc sports can. I will have a little bit more to offer here soon. See you later

I spent $6,000 on my kit. The difference here is that i got a REALLY good price on install which was $780.00. I also got my injectors for $80.00 (used) on eBay and i didn't get a flywheel. My clutch was also $200.00.

Ive been building up these parts for over a year, i didn't get up one day and decided to make my car turbo and purchased everything on the spot. I do ALOT of research and check about 20 different sites, stores and auctions before making a purchase. I always look for the cheapest price.

Not only that but i wasn't even sure if i was going to install the turbo because of all the problems created with boost and heat. For now my car has done the following problems:

1.) Oil leak from the high pressure inlet for the turbo.
2.) Oil leak from the oil pressure sending unit
3.) Large amounts of engine movement during boost, causing the turbo to hit the firewall.
4.) My interiors are starting to let go from all the vibrations, my cars interiors sound like a empty can with BB's inside.
5.) The high heat from the turbo is causing power steering to squeal and my accessory belts have to be replaced.
6.) Boost leak from one of the charge pipes

THIS JUST IN FROM TODAY!!:
7.) Melted clutch line
8.) Melted power steering cap

This things are going to corrected tomorrow afternoon because power steering fluid is HIGHLY flammable and thought would be a $HITTY way to loose my ride.

That sux about everything melting. Well i guess here goes some more money on exhaust wrap. Just to show you it just keeps adding up. Well I guess manifold,downpipe and any rubber cabling around turbo area should get wrapped also. As far as the engine movement. Alot probably due to more power of course, but you said your exhast is part of problem of engine movement. Do you think engine damper would help? I might as well order one of those too. What the hey! Keep me posted on your setup, suggestions are definately welcome.

Nice List, I'm sure Todd has a very good kit, The pics look good and I've read and heard nothing but good things about it, but you may want to think about adding another $1500.00 in parts and about $4000.00 in Labor. You may want to contact Eloy about Rods and Pistons. I found out the hard way LOL Good luck with the build I'm sure you're gonna be pleased.

Not really interested in rods and pistons at the moment. As im not gonna be running that much boost. Maybe if i turn up the boost. I think im at the max at what im spending into this car. Just a project of mine. Can bet money i will be the only boosted xa in the tri state area.

Project Katie. Oh yeah. He has done quite a bit of customizing to that car. Hopefully he wont get rid of it. Anyways how does that egg run? Pretty fast or what? I cant wait man. Ive been holding on to this kit for about 5 months now to get the parts i wanted and schedule install and tune around my guys schedule. Does he have any heat issues under the hood?
