First off - It's a 94 LS w/ 85K. The previous owner bought the car new in 93 and has done dealer maintance on it since. (He even trailored it up/back to/from Oregon when he was working for Microsoft (:thumbdown )

Anyways, after selling my previous Integra (95 Auto LS I/H/E) and buying this one (5spd Stock), and working a bit, I've come to comfortably owning $1500. I definitely going turbo (stock internals for now). ..And I want to do it right for the most part. The question is - should I get started on my own custom setup now and start buying the vitals? or just save up some more $$ and get myself a brand new drag3/revhard kit?

If you were to start all over, what would you do?

You could start buying the hard parts like:

Turbo
Manifold
Intercooler
DP

New or used (depends on how much you want to spend)

i am going the custom road, becuz i cant blow $3000 in one go.......if i buy parts slowly i can fool myself into thinking I wont spend too much on this hobby. with custom u can buy what u like and buy best of the best stuff. and with all these group buys going on i am going crazy. custom will be a lil more expensive in the end, but you'll get what u pay for. good luck

If you have never done a turbo setup before, and you do not have access to fabrication help (welding, etc)... I would recommend you save up for the kit.

Doing a custom kit RIGHT nickles and dimes you to death...

If no one made a custom set-up because they have never made a custom set-up, no one would ever make a custom set-up.

Heh, yeah I know what you mean. I think the kit is probably the best way then. They really aren't so bad anyways. ..And I have a bit of patience left. Any recommandations? ..best bang for the buck?

Definetly got that right. I started out doing a JYT kit like the one Rioninja just did. I ended up going totally custom. Most of the **** is in my sig--not including a total custom fuel system and a couple of other things that cost a lot of time and money, let alone time in planning everything.
