Hey, at least the car appears to be running with the kit.
It just makes me wonder, what you could get out of one of those $900 kits with a little upgrading (Turbo mainly, BOV, management).
It sure as hell is cheaper than anything else on the market, but I will prolly end up going with the turbotoyotas route because it is tried and tested + reputable.

It is still a gamble, I've been down the ebay turbo route, nothing bolts right on everything always needs modification and the turbo is a 50/50 chance. You get what you pay for, remember that. Good numbers for 5psi untuned.

I checked on their website too, they had some kits for the Hondas... prices are very tempting, but think of the smog checks down the road, I wouldn't want to be hassled.

BTW, I have heard couple cam or crankshafts have been broken from the dealerships, this engine might not be as stong as everyone thought it would be... some of the engine parts are made in China that I heard.

Yeah, it might not be a common problem, but TMS has received around 6 cases involve broken shafts. I guess it just doesn't want to be pushed too much...

So I emailed them last night. They said the kit will be around $2000 and it will be bolt on. Also said that thier website should be completely redone in 1-2 weeks.

But after it is all tuned up w/ fuel management installed to make horsepower goes up, so as the price? Or $2k will include all the goodies?
