Do you have a link for the kit? IMO you should get a kit thats been tested on a tC not something you 'think' will fit.

That looks like a Stafford Fabrications kit - judging by the inline fuel pump they use and the pressure regulator. I know they were under development on a tC kit. If it doesn' fit, you'll have to have a shop make a downpipe, exaust manifold, and all of the intake/intercooler piping.

I installed one of those kits on my friends civic - they're a terrible company to deal with! They forgot like two little parts with his kit (intercooler mounts "important!" and a T fitting for the vacuum line) and it took them TEN MONTHS to send him the parts!

Also that third picture isn't even the same kit :? It has an external wastegate and a different intercooler

I can see you had problems with SF too. I bought one of the orginal SF kits for my 2002 Civic and I guess I got lucky.

The finish wasn't too hot and I was missing my alcohol system when I bought it. The turbo went bad and they shipper me a bigger one for free.

They're kits are ok, made the most gains on a 7thgen than any other kit, but the reliablity just wasn't there.

The Scionspeed, Greddy kit, and TRD blower seem like the best ones to wait for for now. I wouldn't look elsewhere yet.
