Sounds like you have some money to spend ... If you want to do it right the first time around DON"T waste your time with Greddy, Rev Hard, etc ... go straight to the boys at Full Race! The have complete kits (turbo, turbo mani, intercooler, piping, wastegate, BOV, etc ... minus ECU & Injectors) ... different stages based on your HP needs. Their quality/fit/finish and customer support is second to none ... I have seem numerous kits installed on different hondas ... no complaints! I personally had purchased a stage 1 kit from them for my 03 EP3, but sold the kit recently in order to build an all motor setup for SCCA/NASA road racing events.

check them out ... http://www.full-race.com contact Geoff at Full Race!

also P1 Automotive out of S.Carolina is one of the biggest distributors/tuners ... http://www.p1auto.com they are good people

greddy is a good turbo brand cause of the quality but hks is also good it all depends on what your lookin for and how much you want to spend on the whole system....

Greddy kit is crap ... seen it on EP3's ... EManage is worthless! Trust me ... if you have the money to spend ... DO NOT go cheap on a forced induction setup!

It is expensive, but if you can afford it, go with an HKS T04Z. VERY good turbo if you tune your car properly. I had one on my old GST Eclipse I had last year. They run about 2,900 bucks, but they are WELL worth it, IMO. They are externally wastegated, so you will need to have a manifold fabricated to accept an external wastegate. They fit on a standard T04 footprint, so finding, or fabricationg a K series manifold will not be hard at all. And they come with either a .61 or 1 A/R ratio, and they are only available in a 63 trim. In layman's terms, on about a 2.0-3.0 liter motor, they usually spool up fairly quickly.

I have just never known what the holes on the inlet horn are for though. If anyone knows, I would be happy to find out.



You can get a turbo manifold from HKS for about 300 bucks, but if you do that, you will need to get an internally wastegated turbo. So the T04Z will be out of the question for you. Let me know if you need any more help on anything.
