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

its seems like a nice kit man but ssautochrome tried to screw over my buddy and say they never got his payment, but i dunno it might have just been a fluke with him.

IF you were to get that, I'd replace the manifold first thing, it's not a very sturdy design, what with the turbo hanging that far away from the engine...

Also, that kit has NO method of fuel management or ECU trickery, and no oil lines. Not a very complete kit...but for the price you do get a lot of things to work toward a full turbo setup.

ss auto crap... everything about that kit is garbage... search on honda-tech... you'll find pages and pages of horror stories... if you ask me, you can piece together a way better quality kit for the same price...
