Utter wank, well known in the BMW scene. Think about it, I paid more than that for just a stage 3 T3 for my RST

I would agree, however the manifolds they sell are for lhd cars and dont fit, let alone the finishing on the insides of the manifolds and the chocolate turbos

my mate recently bought one of those kits and when i started fitting it for
him it turned out to be a nightmare. hardly any of it fits, even the
pipework does not fit correctly, we had to modify the manifold to fit
but when we tried installing the turbo it fouled the radiator, he told me
it was a bolt on kit,BOLLOCKS i spent 2 days making it fit.
when i eventually got it running we found that as soon as it boosted
the ecu cut the engine,this is due to pressure in the vacum pipes which
go to a sensor somewhere, the ecu is not designed to allow for boost
pressure so thinks there is something wrong, dont know if all civics are the same?
