Yeah its a lil' expensive..But U gotta understand this isnt a small Mitsu Turbo, or 16G turbo..This is a T3 Turbo..If U wanna go cheap then go cheap and get a small dinky turbo. hehe..
16G is a small dinky turbo? I guess thats why the DSM guys put big 16g's on their cars and put over 300 to the wheels on a regular basis.

I wish I had the car and the money to buy the stage 2 kit, its an awesome price for the stup when pre-ordering. MSRP isn't that great but for 320+ hp i am willing to make the exception.

I can't seem to find really good info on what the Stage 2 kit includes.

Fuel management?

Boost controller?

Gauges or sensors?

Polished intercooler piping?

Yeah, you're right. I was really hoping boost control would be included. Oh well.

I was going to pre-order, but I don't really feel comfortable about sending someone my money for a kit that really doesn't exist yet. As far as I know, they don't have a picture of the kit, nor do they say anything specific about the fuel system or IC.

So I guess I wait and continue to put away money for the difference in price for not pre-ordering and for a boost gauge and boost controller.

We will begin preorder delivery starting mid March, on a first come first serve basis.
It's mid March. Where are the turbos?

Maybe that tells you something about their kit and it's quality.

I just recieved an email from scionspeed saying that they will have a complete component list out soon, so that will clear up the exact differences between the kits. I really like how they include an oil pan with fittings. When doing a turbo kit install on my friend's '02 civic we had to drill the oil pan and that was a big pain in the ___.
Maybe if you read el prototype article you would understand... has nothing to do with quality has to do with the way the engine is setup. I am just wondering if scionspeed tested it for over 50,000 miles on a xb/xa engine...
what are you talking about? it is for the TC only not those smaller engines in the Xa and Xb

how different can the automatic version possible be? i believe the engine components are the same, with the only difference being the transmission, if you had a high stall torque converter, would you be able to run the same kit?

does anyone have a stock dyno curve on hp/torque to compare? I'm not so much for the 1/4 mile. Rather, I like to look at things for the driveability of the car.

Basicaly, will I see problems in the day-to-day driving? Am I going to see some decent gains in the 2000-4000rpm range? Since thats where a lot of people are going to drive?

That aside, way to go to develope a turbo kit =) One of my guilty pleasures is hearing a turbo spool and BOV's pop...sexy!
