I think your looking at the ssautochrome kits, there old manis would crack, but now they have 2 or 3 new ones,
People will say ssautochrome=****, but i know two guys running these kits(on bseries motors) without problems,
or you can piece your own together.

shut the hell up.. did you just recommend an ssac kit?
dude dont buy that crappy kit.
To put a turbo on your car you will need atleast $2000 and that will be with half assed used parts or with a small turbo.

you know what - just research it
there is a post ive made that people have contributed to it..
just do some reading - cuz if u aint know what u are getting into and u spend this much amount of dollars -> expect to pay more.

im going to tell you what people tell me.
if you dont know alot about turbos dont put one on your car.
its gonna cost you alot more and when problems happen you wont be able to fix it...shop charges$$$$$
just do a swap for now.;

The greddy kits are rarely complete though, and their fuel managment sucks if its the fmu.
I don't know how willing you are to piece a kit yourself, but a decent quality homemade kit should cost in the $1500-$2000 range depending on the deals you strike.
Obviously on top of the price for the parts themselves you still need to add cost for tuning and labour, unless you have the means to do it yourself.
In the end it can cost you about $2500-$3000.

im still waiting for the reply from ssautochorme ..on what exaclty hte whole price is ..and parts are
im really considering it
plus engine swaps cuase problems too
some ppl have no problems with it..and the others..who know on what kind of engine they put the turbo on...plus mines a 1.5 once again so i think it should hold

k, seeing that your budget is around $2000 and your knowledge on turbo's is questionable, i would wait and save up a bit more money to swap in a motor that will at least be a better platform for turbo IF you still wish to go through with it. This all depends on your goals tho, and the internals of the engine you have now, if it's high kms then i wouldn't go for it really, but then you say you only wanna run 5psi, i find that a waste IMHO. Drop in a b18b ls motor, the torque on that motor is a good place to start, i'm sure you will be MUCH happier. And if you still got ants in ur pants u can go ahead and build the engine up N/A or turbo........
hope this helps.....

no turbo kits come cheap...
gather parts and custom one....
seriously, unless you have 3000-5000$, then grab a decent one...
check out honda.tech.com and look in the force induction section, they don't bull around, from there you'll find good info on turbos and you still need seroius $$$ for a serious turbo, the only diff is, you get more gain from turbo than n/a usually
