2009 TSX turbo kit

Here is a turbo kit I found on Ebay, they say at 8 lbs. of boost, you can expect +100 hp. For only 897 thats not a bad deal. Here is the link

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ht_4425wt_1320

any thoughts?

i doubt this is legit. it says K-series. but you still need engine management for it. and 897. usually turbo kits run $3000+

how does one kit fit all the K motors? At an absolute minimum the headers are different. This thing does not smell of quality, that's for damn sure.

Our cylinder heads have an exhaust "bung" on the head, a single opening, like on the 08 TL-S's & unlike the prev gen TSX or the 2.3T.

I was looking at the 2.3T for that exact reason and it appears you'd have to change the head to use any turbo kit made for a 08 & older.

Does the ECU need to be reflashed? Will you lose any luxury features with the reflashed ECU (Cruise Control, VSA, MID, etc..)? Do you need larger fuel injectors for the extra HP? It is also missing the downpipe that connects the turbo manifold to the OEM exhaust. What else is the kit missing?

It seems too good to be true. I would like to see some pictures and/or an installation guide.

this will not fit our cars!!!!! We do not have an exhaust manifold that can be removed like this kit supplies!

This will not work with out car + it is a universal kit, i woudn't recommend it even if the mani would
