I'm trying to figure out why the pic with our headers in it has no turbo/FMIC but when you click on any of the pics it takes you to a Civic page....wish it were better organized.

you get what you pay for, and for that price, you are getting nothing but garbage.
assuming all the flanges line up and nothing cracks, what kind of a turbo do you think you are getting for that price?

There is no such thing as FAST, RELIABLE, and CHEAP, you can only have 2 of the 3 and a Fast and reliable car comes at a price... for that price you can't expect much, looks like a waste of money to me.

if any mod requires more than one exclamation point in the thread title when the price is in question, then yes too good to be true, and yes waste of all of our time!
now if you were talking whp as in "'498'whp Turbo kit..." [dont think thats easily possible] then more than one exclamation point is okay! mods, this should be a new rule lol...or not, im just BSing, but c'mon, people should be smarter than to buy a mod like that...haha
