There's a reason why they're cheap and that's because they're universal. You'll probably end up throwing half of the kit away. Kits designed for your car are expensive because there has been a lot of R&D to produce them.

If you want the safest 50RWHP for low cost look into nitrous. Don't waste your time or money on this stuff, it will probably end up costing you more than just doing it right the first time.

It depends on the laws in your state but I know in Texas it's illegal to have the bottle open on the street. But that's what remote bottle openers are for

Cheap turbo systems from ebay are usually bad quality and bad manufacturing...i had one on one of my old civics...it was decent, until the welds on the manifold broke...everything else was fine...i ended up replacing the manifold and sold it before i could see if the turbo would last...

Don't do it, The cost of the kit isn't even equal to what a GOOD turbo starts at.
