    yeah,i guess im wrong.listen to him^^^ and when you screw your engine up im sure he will be happy to buy you another.....remeber my friend i went the "getto" route...i use to sound like you..look how much i saved on my ugly assed getto turbo set up, and yes you will save money but im sure all of it will cover all the damage to your engine.in the end you will wish you had bought the real deal. and whats this obsession with comparing everything to a gsr?and who cares how much someone else spent to get thier car the way they want it.but if i had to chose and i still had my crx i would choose the gsr swap over the getto turbo any day.but do what you want,its your car

    great im glad you made your own kit,and no i dont think a production kit will not do any harm.you can have the best turbo kit on the market.but if you dont have a reliable engine and fuel mangement then you will have problems.
    and im sure your kit works great,my last homemade kit work better than all of my other kits.the reason i gave this guy this advice is so he does not blow his money and his motor on the wrong stuff.since hes asking about kits he proably does not know what to look for to put together a low buck kit.
    i could build him a low boost 6-7psi kit intercooled for 500.00 with stock injectors and a fmu or 750.00 with a safc2 and dsm 450cc injectors. and i fab my own manifolds from scratch im quite the little metal fabricatorand my kit would last along time and maybe never have a single problem...im trying to give this guy a push in the right direction and people keep saying im wrong.hmmmm sounds like you need to learn a thing or two.
    i know what it is , its turbo envy since your kit is getto the thought of someone else having quailty stuff bothers you doesnt it?oh well just dont screw this guy up ok...thanks
    yes i am....
