I was thinking about buying a turbo kit from ebay power seller "www.ssautochrome.com" for like $1100. I wanted to know if I could install the turbo without taking out the engine.

don't ever buy anything from ssautochrome. go to any messageboard and search "ssautochrome" and you will see why.
forums.freshalloy.com and search for ssautochrome and ssautocrap

no, xs power and turbo xs are two different companies. xs power is what ssautochrome sells.

Everything else aside, there's no reason to take an engine out to install a turbo kit. and ebay is good for things like light bulbs and cel phone accessories, not turbo kits

You can put together a really good turbo kit for 1100.
Blox Manifold
t3/t4e (or used precision)
Tial Wastegate (used)
Greddy or Tial BOV (used)
Start there...see how much you spend. You will be much happier than SS Autocrap.

Yeah you dont have to take your motor to put a turbo kit.

On an Integra or Civic, yes you can install a set up with the engine still in place.
You don't want that kit.
If you want a kit look for Greddy, RevHard, Drag 3, FMAX.
