I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Have any of you guys heard or had any experiences with TSI (Turbo Specalties Inc) turbo kits/setups? Any information would be helpful.

Post the parts. I read about it when you IMed it to me, but I can't find the link again.

The only thing I questioned was the manifold.

Go to http://www.turbokits.com to see the low down. I've been hearing some nightmare stories on 7thgencivic.com from some guys. Mostly a small manifold misalignment and plain horrible install instructions- which doesn't scare me. But wrong parts sent and god aweful customer relations do worry me, which i have also heard as well from a few people.

Maybe it would pay just to spend the little extra to piece a kit together yourself, talk face to face with a shop, and have the peace of mind. :shrug:

Well here's the issue I'm undecided since some people are very pleased while others are not. Mostly the people who are pist have no mechanical knowledge and are getting hosed by their local shiops to install the kit. There is another kit coming out in January from Dezod Motorsports. It has better and worse shit to the other but seems to have a better reputation fdrom ppl on 7th gen civic. Here's the site: http://www.dezodmotorsports.com/pd_dezod.cfm

A note, once the kit is up and running, Everyone has been very pleased with the performance of the TSI setup.

Come on guys, give me some input here. There's the two options. Everybody says the dezod is gonna be the shit, but i think it's over priced and sucks in fuel delivery department. he TSI kit seems better
