DA B16 Turbo?
Hey guys, so im new to tegs and b series.
So im looking at getting This DA with a b16 swap, has new pistons and rings, ebay turbo kit but has garret turbo and drag manifold. Has new paint, door jams, but engine bay is still the same. Honed block, milled head, all new gaskets, tuned p28, running 12lb boost. Iv never owned a car thats boosted so whats are some things to look for before buying?
He wants 3500 so seems kinda fishy why hes asking such a low price, or is that a good price?
Thanks guys

Things to look for
-burn oil
-leak oil
-shaft play on turbo
-missfire/hesitate at all (idle or WOT)
-does it looked hacked together or put together nice
-ask about the internals and what they are b16s have high compression and thats not a good thing when adding boost

Re: DA B16 Turbo?
Didn't honda tuning feature an article a while back where someone was testing boost on a stock b16? Got to like 26psi and ran out of dyno time. Any one else remember that?
