you'd probobly be better off piecing the kit together and then having the charge piping made professionally during installation. Or maybe buy the piping off someone who's parting out their turbo kit.

It is ghetto as hell. But a friend of mine put together one for less than $100 and ran a 13.2 on a stock B16 EF

Damn this is an old thread. It's been a while since I've been here, but I'm glad to see my stuff still getting knocked around

This is a really old thread, but maybe the original poster will see this. I noticed you didn't use any fuel management, such as Hondata or Chrome. Did you skip this because you're using relatively low pressure boost?

The rest of the project is ghetto and shitty, so it would only make sense to half-ass the fuel management too. Keep in mind that most setups were still on a VAFC hack at this time since Hondata was new and Crome wasn't even conceived yet.

Regardless, this thread is a disgrace. My sympathies for anyone using this thread as reference for their future turbo projects.
