Default Help me convert to the Darkside....

Ok guys, here are the parameters, I have searched, and feel this needs to be addressed.

1: Budget: $3000 This includes everything I need for turbo, Hondata S200B, and guages, etc, I can stand to save a few more hundred for install while waiting for all the stuff to ship.

2: Drivability: I will never be looking to boost above 10psi, or hit more that 300HP, the car is a street machine, but not really a daily driver

There are several kits, Greddy, Drag, FMAX, etc, and there is the custom route.

Based on the criteria, I need to know what will be the path of least resistance. Tuning is gonna be my only issue, as it is just a matter of locating somewhere to dyno/tune the car.

I hear that the Greddy kit allows for a more "bolt on" style kit, and that it, an intercooler, and some hondata can do wonders.

I have also considered the route of the custom kit. It is just a matter of getting all the parts. Let me know guys.

just want to give you fair warning, you will run into problems no matter what.... it might cost you more than $3K to turbo your car... People certainly have done it, but be prepared to shell out some more cash just in case... besides, if you get everything done for $3K and you have the extra $$$ you saved up still, you can go blow it on something else shiny

it seems decent. the prices are off a bit. like a good egt gauge alone will cost $150 and you still need the boost gauge for another $75 or so. go with the 63 a/r turbo rather than the 43.
other than that it seems to be in order

Yea I know some of the prices are off, I was gonna use all autometer guages, unless I can find some cooler ones, but the autometers will work well and they are not that expensive, so I can always upgrade them later. Anyone know where to get an inline Pro manifold from, other than the website i listed?
