This looks to be the exact same kit that u can get for the Civic TypeR, its about £500 only thing it doesn't come with is a downpipe.
I've heard good reports about them on Type Rs but as with anything u only hear how good it went a week or 2 after fitting, dunno about its long term durability.
Seems too good to be true, and for this kit (Glanza) 450hp!!! I mean seriously come on!

haha, 'well beyond 485 bhp'!! its just a shitty looking turbo and an even shittier looking front mount, thats basically all there is to it apart from that shitty-looking manifold

thats a t3/34 hybrid... if you want a t3 get one cheap off a sierra cosworth and get it rebuild. that kit is all chinese ebay stuff :S wouldnt trust it... BUT i know a guy running the same turbo on a 4e with good results... still like 2 months old only so cant say how good are the internals... but his tuner said they are good.. once they start smoking you just rebuild it with quality parts and shoud be very good

you never use the word pruck ? lol
pruck
items you like to buy that look nice but are useless.a term used in northern ireland.
I tried a similar kit (universal T25 kit) on my 4e equipped tercel,
its crap, the turbo isnt as precise as a real-brand Garrett. it needs a lot of fitting, the oil line doesnt even screw into the turbo cartridge. the wastegate was set a 39lbs. (i used a basket with bricks inside to move the actuator rod...)
Dont touch. I converted to a tried-and-true GT2560R Garrett turbo since. The only good thing in those kits are the piping and intercooler which is pretty hard to foul...
my 1000$+ mistake is free for you to learn.
