The Edelbrock EDL 1500 turbo kit is comprised of high quality compnents. Be aware if your application is a 96-98 Civic, you need to order an EDL 15022 MAP sensor voltage module. Without this item, you will get an error code. Having to order this additional item dampens the Edelbrock statement that the EDL 1500 is a complete kit. As with all retro-fit kits offered for sale, you may need to do more work than the instructions state. The front grill on a 98 Civic will need considerably more alteration than is shown in the instructions. Make sure you check off all of the bits & pieces listed on the parts list instructions before you start the installation. Pay particular attention to the size of the Lee plugs that you will need to install into the intake manifold for some model year applications. Make sure they are the correct diameter for your manifold. This kit, successfully installed, is a great source of bolt-on horsepower. Unless you are an expert mechanic, avoid the temptation to source all of the items in this kit as individual pieces. This kit fits, just keep in mind that it is a retro-fit, meaning you may have to be resourceful and patient as you install it on your particular application.
It goes without saying, this installation is much easier if you have access to a lift, a well lighted shop, and a significant set of hand tools. The projected time of installation stated in the instructions (16-20 hours) applies to a veteran mechanic where every part is present, nothing breaks during disassembly,
there is little or no retro-fitting, have a garage with a lift, have no interuptions nor distractions, and you are doing the installation as a fun hobby, not a hurry up and get it out the door project. With patience, and the Edelbrock toll free help line, this can be a pleasant installation. The performance of the turbo is an eye opener. Well worth the investment if you are looking for true, honest bolt-on horsepower.

To this day, I have never seen a more complete setup than what Edelbrock has right here. It comes with everything. The good part about it is that it is upgradable. Edelbrock already has full race setups as well. They give us people who want to keep our single cam engines a chance against the DOHC VTECs. Keep single cams alive!
