So does it means?
Plug and play and no tweaking in fueling system?

This is the biggest thing in turbocharging. Sometimes it'll take you forever to tune the car.
How about the compression?
I didn't read anything about lowering the compression....another big thing. Anyone can slap a turbo...but there are things to be addressed.

For the most part . It get people started with a drivable kit .

A Custom tune would drive much better if it was a daily driver . You can boost the stock compression to a point . Something will eventually fail , Luckly Honda used forged internals .

But for the style of kit and materials and parts used . It is a great deal for what you get . Even if you wanted to retune it and use it on a built motor it is a great price . Almost to god to be true for the amount of time it takes to fab everything . Mase must have some illegals working in the Back

Well, they need to probe the reliability...the bottom line.

Ya can't really prove reliability on any turbo kit. Alot of factors come into play. age of car , installed the right way , so many factors for the normal person to just slap on a turbo kit.

There is no warranty in this buisness as you are asking factory motors to go beyond what they were intended to do . Only thing that is warrantied is the parts and they do not cover any damage to the motor they might cause from being defective .

The companies that do offer warranties are very low boost ( Stillen ) and they charge you for it . Or like the UR Lambo kit . But it cost $60k vs $6.5k

Just like J said we dont know the condition of the car before said mods or how the customer treats said car .

EXAMPLE .. I did a Twin Turbo kit for a Kid on a G35 . He call complaining the motor is making all kinds of noise . Kid was bitching and moaning and he had a show to do that was more important than making sure the car was OK .On Top of it I got to phone calls from other customers telling me he was there doing burnouts and such .... In the end he had the car towed to me . Over 4qts low on oil .
