I actually purchased a kit from treadstone performance back in 2006 when I decided to turbo my car! I didn't use the piping that came with it for a down pipe though, I got one custom made. Also the intercooler piping may need some cutting perhaps. The kit is pretty decent though, I made 268whp on my stock JDM B16A motor on 10psi of boost (with other upgrades such as injectors, fuel pump, ECU etc etc.)

Here is my thread I had. http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?t=124480

There were a few problems I encountered though, such as my turbo wouldn't clear my block due to the weird angle of the log manifold, so I had to shave some of the block. Also it made finding a down pipe hard and so I just hacked up one I bought and got it welded to make it fit.

Since then I have changed a LOT of my build.. new exhaust, new manifold etc etc. I'm STILL running the same turbo though. I had them swap in a liquid/air cooled turbonetics T3/T4 turbo when I purchased the kit to ensure it would hopefully last long. Been working like a champ ever since!
