Turbo Kit on ebay

Hey guys I found this turbo kit on ebay. Its from the same guy who make the comptech style headers for our cars. It looks like a complete turbo, with all the piping, intercooler, and Bov. Does anyone have this kit. I mean for 925 its not bad. But I also know you get what you paid for. Here the linkTurbo Kit

98-02 Accord headers fit the 3.2 CL....I'd bet money that it would fit perfectly. Maybe with a lil bit of custom fabbing with the bumper so the intercooler would fit.

I comes with the intercooler. The guy told me all you have to do is shave down the bumper support, and it would be fine.

That's Ryan's (Speedr73's) Kit. He lives here in Atlanta, seen the kit many times. It's actually decent. Those are older pictures.

ok, is that white part ... PVC tubing????

also why couldn't that be mounted a little further back so it could blow more directly into the intake... the exhause pipe doesn't look all that straight either, but i guess not much you can do there..

Sorry meant to say use the piping, not the intake itself. I would cut and fabricate. Their piping looks tiny.

Yeah what type of numbers is he making. I mean you could always buy the kit, and fab what parts you don't want to ise. But the only question I have is what about engine management. What would ypu use a unichip? We need a crash dummy. Know ones used this kit at all?

Yes but if you talk to him he will tell you what horrible company XS is and that they have even worse Customer Service. Go search on www.honda-tech.com in the Forced Induction section and you will see 10 billion post on SSAC (SS Auto Chrome = XS Power) turbo kits and how they are big piles of Expect horrible fitment (if it actually fits), missing/wrong items, horrible QC, and parts that will break in a very short time. Now maybe their headers for the CL/TL fit and so far the longest someone has had them on is a year I believe so we can't tell much about durability, but I would stay away from their turbo "kits" if you value your car or $. Besides you still have to come up with fuel management, oil lines and fittings, vacuum lines, a competent tuner, etc They are also using the stock exhaust manifolds which we all know don't flow that well.

There is no turbo kit made for the CL or TL. It's custom made & installed. There's NO ONE that mass produces anything.

You can get that, but It still would be custom to make it work on a CL or TL. Not to mention I see nothing for boost or tuning control included.

Last XS kit I saw is one for an intergra at the shop i use. The blow off valve died in under a week, among other continuing problems.
