it uses the cheapest turbo parts known to man. the turbo will be a typical e-bay pos, same with the BOV, intercooler probly isnt too bad, the charge pipes are universal, meaning you gotta hack them up and make em fit yourself, i doubt that manifold will last.

the batter relocation kit should tell you its crap, cause we might have to move the battery into the engine bay lol.

a friend of mine actualy put one of those cheap e-bay kits on his civic. right from the get go he had to get proper oil feed and return lines and fittings, and within a month he had to change the turbo manifold. he slowly had to start changing parts to keep the car going, the last thing to actualy get changed was the turbo itself, 1 year after he installed it. i think he ended up selling some of the parts as he upgraded (BOV, wastegate, intercooler), i think in the end he wasted $1k on it after selling stuff off.

it pays to buy a proper kit.

it pays to start away from anything that comes from ebay or anything used when it comes to anything having to do with a turbo. i used all name brand parts and have yet to run into any problems with my turbo kit. my buddy who used ebay turbo parts has replaced every part at least 3 times because he thinks its cheaper to replace cheap ebay parts with cheap ebay parts. spend the extra money and buy good quality parts from the begining. its save you a bunch of money and tons of headaches in the future, believe me.

They must have researched a ton on the CSS before they put that kit together.

Fuel solution - fuel pressure regulator, billet aluminum fuel filter..

Look, they're going to include a battery relocation kit so you can move your battery to the trunk!

Oh, and its a Chinese crap lead turbo held together by JBWeld..

I love cheap ebay turbo kits
