turbo and manifold for $180 ??
Look at this eBay auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MakeTrack=true
This is a really good deal right? I have a 1995 civic lx, as you can easily tell by my name. This would fit my car, correct? I dont want a ton of boost, plus my car has 142000 miles on it, so i dont want to do anything to harsh, or expensive. this seems like a good deal to me. Any other opinions?

It looks like garbage.
It doesn't have a wastegate and trying to get a downpipe to fit that and line up to your cat will be more hassle than it is worth. It is also an insanely tiny turbo, so you won't get much out of it.
Save your money and at least buy a combo that includes turbo, manifold, and downpiping. The rest can be bought elsewhere.

It's a tiny turbo mounted to a crappy HF manifold. It's worth about $100, it's not a steal or anything.
It will definately help your low end torque though, considering how fast it will spool.

looks like a 14b? my buddy is running an hf mani with a 14b on his z6.. just smoked an 05 rsx type S the other night, all on a 900 dollar turbo setup... so you decide. yes you will have to custom make the dp. but thats tru with almost any setup. HOWEVER. be wary about buying a turbo off ebay. i would much rather buy it from a car forum where the seller can provide vouches etc
goodluck!
