I was under the impression that most of the pipe is useless and you need a bigger turbo. Just what I heard.

I'm sorry, but really? Someone really needed to tell you 'no'? Perhaps your sig says it all.

Dude, eat a dick. I wasn't considering buying it, just making conversation.
What issue do you take with my sig other than it being exponentially better than yours?

I don't think it is awesome. If you look at who I am responding to, you will see he has no sig pic, so by default mine is better.

listen this isn't about my sig, it is about goofy ebay products and lt1 driver's opinions on them.

I dont know a Whole lot about turbo sizing. But i believe that turbo is WAY to small. And in the first line on the description it says "UNIVERSAL FIT" lol.

wow so it made 70 hp I'm surprised it could do that much. That turbo is tiny. the piping looks like roof gutter aluminum. An intercooler to make that little is just funny though

I can tell your one of those silly massholes. You asked if it works. I said "Do you really need to ask?". You cant buy a used HX40 for that much. Now you feel stupid and are lashing out.

Dont waste a tech board's time posting crap people try to sell on ebay. If you have a legitimate question then I will give you a legitimate answer. Waste of time question gets a your wasting everyone's time kind of answer.

Your signature. What is all that low resolution crap? Franklin with a handkerchief over his face, some pistol ammo, and hacked out flames behind your board name. How about you post your modifications there so people could even give you advice, since that's what this place is for. Instead you've got some lame bullets, flames, and bankrobbber dollar bill in what looks to be a "I'm a billy bad ***" kind of collage. Maybe I'll put a signature together so I can win the signature battle.

Can you even own a gun in that homo loving state anymore? Sorry Realquick.

The parts may not be 100% gabage but it is not a direct bolt on kit, lots of fabwork for the piping and what not. Plus not hot parts and computer, and the turbo is probably garbage.Not a kit for an LT1 but a great kit for a civic

^ wow dude back to the signature.

Again for the slow members of the board. I posted this not to advocate ebay products, discuss my sig, or talk about homosexuality in MA.

You criticize me for posting a thread about a lt1 ebay turbo kit and tell me to "ask tech related questions"... uhmm dude you've spent the whole time bitchin about my sig. What is less on topic me wanting to discuss a lame turbo kit attempt or you wanting to talk about my sig?

-no, I don't personally own a gun, no, I don't support gay marriage, here's a link to my mods https://ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-m...dered_out.html sig is making fun of hip hop culture (not a huge fan) low resolution is the result of ls1tech mandated max size requirement.

BACK ON TOPIC

I wanted to know what others members thought of this junk turbo kit. If you look above another member explained some experience with the product. Anyone else other than Bersaglieri have an opinion or horror story.

My friend had a ebay kit on his d15 equipped Civic. It did manage to run like a 13.8. So for whoever said not bad for a Honda, well they actually work pretty good for them.

His turbo even held up for about two years before his car was stolen and gutted.
