Default Extreme Boost GT30 Turbo

Has anyone on this board used Extreme Boosts GT30 Dual Ball Bearing Turbo kit on a B18 or even a B16 honda yet. I have heard good things about them for the Toyota MR2's, but I think that they just came out with this kit probably 6 months ago for honda's. If you have any experiences with this turbo on a Honda let me know.

Kind of curious and thinking about maybe getting one of their kits dont know yet though, not enough facts to persuade me yet.

Stay away from that company. The word "kit" usually means all of the parts needed for the install are included, and that they ship together. If you feel like signing up on the MR2 message board, do a search for buyers sellers feedback on extreme bust.

Why? all the kits you find with exception of a few(Greddy) just give you an FMU for fuel management.. thats retarded for spending $3,000.. FMU is so basic and unreliable..

You need to be willing to do your own work... you save money with piecing together stuff by countless hours of research for the right parts, small fabrication for piping, tuning it, etc.. but thats what being an enthusiast is all about right? WORKING on the car.. not spending a few grand for a kit then pay a shop to install it..
