no experience but cant be a good idea. if it all fit up and worked i highly doubt the parts would last very long. everyone on here is right when they say FI and cheap dont go together.
looks like you have a very nice car, dont **** it up.lol

if your gona spend the money on a butt mount kit, just do a front mount, theres plenty of people building kits now-a-days. the plenty that keep a/c. the guy that built mine is pretty resonable, and a good guy to deal with

Damn stay away from that ebay stuff! i get a laugh when the local guy's that drive there civics around that have the ebay turbos on them! before you know it they are putting in a new engine because the exhaust turbine blew up, and scallered the compressor turbine all thru the pistons. As the others said CHEAP is not alway's a good thing! No way i will put one on my ls1!!!! And good luck with the project!
