Welcome, who did your work? How do you tune your car? Any times on her? Just curious.

rehard kits are all bolt on. any monkey with a wrench can put a bolt on turbo kit on. my friend put one on his civic on a corner of a street using a street lamp as his light. with basic hand tools. LoL..thats skill right there.

Now you know why I asked those questions first. You just jumped a good amount of points on my respect scale. Glad to see you're local. I'd be interested in checking out your car sometime. I love meeting local turbo owners who actually know what they are doing, and arent afraid to get their hands dirty.

And yes Dan I know its an easy install, hence the reason all respect would be lost if it was installed by someone else . In your case though I know it'd be a PITA to do the kit, but I would still probably suck it up and do it rather than pay someone else.

Engine:
Revhard 2C
t3/t4OE 60 trim
Bigger intercooler
Tial 35mm wastegate
Removed winshield washer fluid holder

so you have listed something so trivial as 'removed windshield washer fluid holder' but not what kind of exhaust or engine management you're running? is that like a joke or something..?

anyways, welcome to the board, nice turbo - what turbine housing are you running? turbine wheel?
