Default Hybrid Turbo Kits?

In the June 2003 issue of Sport Compact car, there were about 3-4 turbo kits presented for Integras and Civic hybrids with a B18 motor. I was wondering if anyone had purchased a kit like this and how they like it, or just any info or thoughts on these kits

Yes, all you need is a different piping kit....I know for a fact DRAG sells turbo kits for swapped cars.

nice.. thanks for the info, but where could I find such kits.. the drag kit and the piping kit.. for my civic? Also, what of the kits named so far is the best and most reliable... the Rev Hard, the Drag, or possibly turbonetics?

Hybrid turbo kits are when you put the housing of ...lets say a T3 with the internals of a T4 in it.

A hybrd car with turbo is very common and quite simple. All you have to do is custom bend a few pipes so it fits the car and it works just fine.
