Finally got an answer from wagner. I am ordering the intercooler + the Dowpipe kit. It is designed to pass the annual inspection Which in some European countries is not a joke. If you don’t pass it you don’t drive the car.
So could you order the downpipe without the front pipe?

well well...big surprise.
when i mounted the intercooler kit and downpipe, the mechanic showed me that my turbo is completely fried. They say because of bad tuning.
In any way - I just ordered this: https://www.turbozentrum.de/MHI-Mit...ade-Turbo-Honda-Civic-SI-Turbo-Upgrade-260-HP

see the attachement
Do you have images of the turbine wheel, except for this video?
Can you define "fried" ? :)
Sorry for your damage but it's always an opportunity to upgrade, right?
Did you have any signs of loss of power or any weird sound of anything?

Still works. The turbo is on the car. I'll swap it once the new one will be here. I'll post pictures asap

No signs of losing power. the car behaves the same.

the new turbo is here.
wish me luck with the mount. I will change the oil and filter as well, then tune the car properly :)
I'll follow-up on dyno numbers soon

Hope your unit is better than the ones blown by Edge Autosport and you enjoy the improved top-end :)

for strange reasons i cannot upload pictures. any way. my goal is to keep the turbo at lower boost. I'm not running for higher numbers...i look at drivability and reliability as well. For me 230/240 hp is more than enough.

250-260 should come pretty effortlessly on a TD03 with a nice and flat torque curve (maybe you have seen mine on older threads) and has been reliable for me so far.
Will you be using ktuner now?
