Ive read 3 magazine reviews of this kit and have heard nothing but the best. Couple quick questions:

1. Will this kit make that cool turbo blow off sound?
2. Will the piggyback that comes with be enough computing power or would you suggest a complete ecu upgrade i.e. hondata unit.
3. If piggy back unit is enough would you still recomend doing a dyno test?

Any one else with have some input on this kit. Finally a option other than a complete engine swap!

turbo kit prices between a B series, and a D series are not going to be much difference as the only main thing they change is the manifold, and the size of the turbo, but that isnt going to effect the price differnce much.

heard good things. the piggy back is good enough so i wouldnt worrie about it. and it should be safe on stock internals i think it runs about 8psi. the only thing i heard bad about it was that the exhuast manifold gasket they give u sucks and goes bad after a lil while.... but im not sompletly sure about it.

I have this kit on my 98 Civc EX. The power is incredible considering the stock power. It does give about 176 hp and the car will run 15s. The kit is easy to install. Dont buy after market gaskets if this is the only thing on your car. Use stock honda gaskets. The kit looks great and makes other drivers look twice when a stock looking civic leaves them at the line. Well worth the 3200 i paid. looking to upgrade soon i have pistons and rods. the turbo will push 18 lbs. hopefully nitrous after that.
