You get what you pay for... do you think the turbo was the only part made in China?

They also say... "You gotta pay to play"

PS - Look for the member "sktingclaybird" or something... he runs... er... ran this kit.

The XS kit is crap, save the piping - which should be the only thing you use from it. If you do decide to go with this "kit", there is a lot of modification required and and many more parts needed in order to complete it. This has been discussed over and over all over the accord forums, use the search button.

Diamond in the rough.

No offense to the OP if he doesn't know... but...

Just ask CL-S6 on V6P/Azine. He got the XS kit, and then was the victim of JoeBoost's all-time hackjob. :ugh:

It's a shoddy *** kit. But yeah, save the piping if you get it. That's basically ALL that Spyros (CL-S6) has remaining in his build now.....

Don't cheap out = Don't get this one. I do believe this is the same cheap-azz kit Joe was using a while ago, but you may not know who that is. Just don't get it. If you do it, do it right and buy quality parts. Turbo/Engine mods are the type where brand-name does matter highly.
