Running quite a lot of power if it hasn't been sleeved and no mention of uprated cams? Also has absolutely humongous injectors (overkill? Especially with no up-rated fuel pump?)
Any thoughts agree/disagree?
I wonder if the spec list is incomplete?

Yep, that's what I meant - not been sleeved, so that's running quite a lot of power for a standard block.

The block can take the power. The mahle can take high psi however there is still a debate that the mahle only last up to 30k on boost before the skirt coating wears out from the frm liners. It's all debatable on Honda tech epic h22 mahle thread.
Those injectors are fine. Loads of headroom. A lot of Americans run 1000cc injectors on standard 9psi boost. Not needed but headroom I suppose. It all depends on what fuel duty cycles its on.
Also updated cams on a turbo is counter productive. Having more valve overlap from more aggressive vtec looses boost unless turbo cams are used. Standard are fine for most boost applications.

I think its a very strange ad.
If I was going to sell I'm not going to post the prices of parts I bought. Its missing lots anyway.
Steering hose??? Who cares!
Rearlight gasket? Wtf
What turbo is it running?
19 psi and 365hp????
I had 371@10 psi on a small t3 .63ar
He has lots of feedback on ebay, why write such a crad ad??

Some people like to see how much as been spent laid out super duper clear for them so they can understand asking prices.
Still, no one cares about a rear light gasket. I didn't even know they had one TBH, never had to look there.

the only person who sees the rear is the other driver
