civicturbo79 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 The kits themselfs are ok , but the turbo's are weak and alway go wrong , and the manifolds aways crack but by the looks of that kit it has a cast manifold so that will be ok . If i was going to by that kit i would get it , use all of it bar the turbo ,sell the one from the kit and get a nice garrett t25 . But turboing is a big money game ,which i know first hand . so if you are a on a budget its not for you . Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 can i ask out of interest,is it safe to run turbo on stock internals/ecu/map??? like maybe quite low boost?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civicturbo79 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 my brother has a eg d16 running 250 bhp with an ex power kit and mapped on chrome. And the engine is 100 % standard. rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Ok thats interesting. Ive fancied going turbo too now ive sorted out all my niggles. But its the cost of ecu and mapping that put me off to be honest. So that gives me something to think about. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
