I found this HKS is it good?

Guys

While today I was researching tubo for my 07 Fit sport I found this 11001-BH002 on the HKS USA site. It's asking $3495.00. No specification on HP/TQ. It does say it's a bolt on Kit so I assume is easy install. Anyways, input your opinions.
here is the site I found it at...
HKS USA Bolt-On Turbo Kit

it still makes me wonder why they used such a tall intercooler. The top 1/2 gets no air. The only people i know of on here with the kit is sdpannfit and h-fit. I think BJ said he was 130whp?

It doesn't say if it comes with Turbo timers nor gauges. But it is carb legal so what if its intercooler is a littler large like the EVOX's?

I was just stating i don't like the idea of tapping the oil pan it has nothing to do with the cost.

sorry. i didnt mean to come off as a smart ass. but yea, the tapping of the oil pan is super easy. i had to tap mine twice. once for the oil return line and one for my oil temp gauge.

Actually guys there is no tapping needed to install the turbo kit. If you look at the center /top of the turbo kit picture you see the banjo bolt that goes between the oil pan and the oil drain plug. *SO NO TAPPING NEEDED* cool beans. ~BJ

on their site, it states 5.7psi and peak power is only 125.6. So.. quite a different story here.

totally agree. 14's would be ace though for a fit!

How's your gas mileage with the mild turbo boost?

well, figure that you'd have the same power to weight ratio as cars like the vw gti or civic si. those, stock, run low 15's. a lot of the turbo and superchargers out here for our cars are made to be as risk free as possible, and the l15 isn't exactly a powerhouse like old b series engines are, so you are limited to what you can do. for a dd, 15 seconds is fine. if you want to be SUPER fast, then maybe a fit isn't the best answer. (at least not compared to what you can do to a 97 dx hatch. )

but its good for a dd. i do agree, though, if we could hit 14's, that would be sick.
