    Nor does the ad specify its for the 5.4... I dont know, seems fishy. I wouldnt trust a turbo alone for 400 let a lone a whole set up. Try google review search?

    Caveat Emptor in Spades!

    From what I see in the kit about 2/3rds of it is missing.....and the price of the whole kit is about equivalent to one quality rebuilt turbocharger. Heck, the Rayjay turbocharger I bought 30 years ago cost me $350 by itself.

    You get for what you pay, and this kit doesn't give much....it will provide lots of disappointment and many headaches.:superhack:

    That turbo is larglely undersized for either the 4.6 or the 5.4. This is more than likely for a stock civic and they are just trying to get smoeone to bite on it. RUN!
