That should have meant the turbo was matched for 1.6L should it not?

There's nothing wrong with kits its just you picked the wrong one IMO

I know I know. Let me guess. You are going to say Trust kits are the best again?

No this is the Only d series kit provided by XS.
Your was a specific d series, 1.6L turbo and kit to suit, not just a universal kit with added pieces to make it for d16.

Where as the XS kits are universal, and they just give IC piping + downpipe to suit your car.

I love the sound

yeah i might join you guys soon also. Mine's about underway.

P.S RedVTI - the spooling of the turbo is dependent on the turbo not so much on the manifold.

The reason Tim got a T3 with a T28 flange adaptor is cos it was a cast T3 and cheaper to get it that way. And cos you can't weld on a cast manifold he used the flange. I'm sure if you ask him he'll confirm.

I'm sure the custom kit will be good. PM me if you need a place to make the kit, as i have a place making mine also.

Thanks Limbo. Like I said, I don't possess a lot of technical knowledge so please correct me if I am wrong.

Tim's turbo is actually a GT28 or disco potates as he told me tonight.

I am happy to know there are at least four turbo civics in Sydney. How many are there in OZ hey? I think more and more poeple will turbo their civics.
