Is this a mistake, or does Turbo Specialties actually make a tC kit now?

The price seems way too good to be true, unless they're cheaping out on parts. Still, if they do make one...

Pray and hope they do not. They make a kit for the Civic 01-05, and it is garbage. Piping doesn't fit, management is garbage, 1st and 2nd gear are great, but nothing on 3rd-5th......We dominate that market~!

You should try it out and let me know the results. LOL.
I don't if it's cheap parts or not. Should try to contact them and find out about the parts/

paul_dezod

It is. Trust me from experience.

Oh boy. Yeah I installed one kit on a Protoge. Wow, was it cheap. The piping was nowhere near close to fitting. THey basically gave us a box of pipes and say here try this. I called them and had them send more piping to make it work. I had to weld up a few pieces to make it fit and cut the sheetmetal in parts to make it work. The turbo actuator was wasted out of the box, the BOV was a joke, and well the intake was a snorkel that looked like a part for a pool or something. Overall it was horrific. You're better off making something yourself than one of their kits.

paul, hahaha this is the kit steve had!

yea, the parts are absolute junk. I ran the TSI kit on my xB about 3 years ago when there were no other turbo options. Their fuel management is a joke( 2 additional boss injectors unreliably spraying fuel into the throttle body, not individual cylinders so trying to dial in a perfect a/f ratio is pretty much non existant. On to the piping, all I can do is laugh about that The intercooler piping layout was a complete joke, and my father and I actually re routed all the piping and eliminated about a foot and a half of piping from the setup. Maybe turbo specialties should hire me for their intercooler setup because obviously they dont have the knowledge to properly route their piping setup. Basically, the only thing I used from that kit was the manifold, turbo, and intercooler. I pieced together my own fuel setup...converted to a return line, upgraded fuel pump/fuel rail, and used celica injectors instead of the injector boss that came with the kit. I would highly suggest against this kit as the components look like they were pieced together in someones garage, and Im pretty confident that I coulda put together a better kit. The only good thing is they use garrett turbo's and are not only oil, but also water cooled.

im confused as to why this kit is even being discussed...they are using the same turbo that is in the xB kit...isnt that enough to discourage some people? The only thing worth while about the kit is the fact that its a genuine Garrett turbo

318_tC

universal turbo kits are the new hotness

Simplyscion

this is definitely a kit that has forpinks name written all over it

Hey! I know quality... AND THIS IS NOT! (Well, I'd take that turbo for 400bucks as backup if I get a Greddy!)
