again not to be rude but that has also already been addressed in i think my second post. my friend has a kit he's selling with the same parts for the same price, actually like 600. that is just for illustration.

As Kev mentioned, taking that route can save you a lot of money and keep you running strong.

Check the DIY section for my Turbo write up, pretty sure theres a m4d tYte diagram of how to wire in the box
not everyone can match colors =[

i wired DSMs just fine, it took me probably longer than most people but its pretty straight fowrad......you can find a cheaper set of bluetops/resistor box btw. Like $75 max is what i would pay.

and for the stuff you are actaully goign to keep from that eBay turbo kit, i'd probably just piece it together. Like a legit turbo, not some shiny *** manifold, an nice BOV that won't break on you, a nice wastegate.

Turbo, $100, greddy BOV, $150, eBay intercooler/piping, $100, hf mani, $30/$40, and if the turbo is internally gated you can skip the external gate anyway. There are cheaper and better ways than buying the whole eBay kit and just using some of the parts.

Also i bought an oil drain adapter from eBay and barely hit it with a hammer and it snapped right off. TunerToys drain adapters aer soooo much stronger, don't cheap out, thats what was the demise of Forty04's boosted civic.

my bad! Diddn't see that second post. Well if you can get everything includedi n that kit except GReddy for $600, thast a pretty good deal. I'm still sticking to my statements about the oil lines and the injectors though.
