No offence, youve been asking about turbo kits for the past day or so. Try searching the archives, there is more than enough info there. Im sure you will find what you are looking for. Try homemadeturbo.com too

Peopel cant/wont tell you where to shop unless you give specific goals and budget. I spent $1500 on my first kit (on HT) and it was complete bolt on. I thought ti was money well spent. This time I am piecing mine together. Fortuantely I dont have high apsiratiosn so I am skimming on the money the best I can BUT making sure I do it right. As far as what is the right/best kit....there is no answer for that. You can go buy a $4000 kit and it will run liek **** if you dont have a good fuel management or shitty tuning where someone can do a homemade kit, have good management and tuning and be better than that $4000 kit

first go to http://www.turbod16.com
then go to http://www.city-speed.com and buy the complete Greddy 15G kit for $1455 shipped!
Thats where I got mine from. And here's a pic:
By the way, i'm running 5.5psi and I ran a 6.8seconds 0-60MPH with my heavy friend in the car. A brand new RSX Type S runs the same speed so give or take, you will beat a Type-S no doubt at stock boost.

That would be a negative. I came up on a T3 in damn near mint condition and got it for 67 shipped.

Re: CIVIC EX 1.6LV-TEC D16Y8 TURBO (specv5150)
depends on how much money and time you have ...
if like me - I'd spend 500 bucks more but I'll put everything in no more than 2 days. That's what I'm doing this weekend ... because I don't wanna spend 3 months in gathering parts and find out at the end that most of them don't fit together ......... and then spend another 3 for the same ****
so, buy GReddy kit from http://www.city-speed.com and an intercooler from http://www.johnnyracecar.com, get pipes from http://www.tunertoys.com and couplings from http://www.stealthmodeperformance.com, some metal rings from Home Depot and do it in 2 days

Re: (blown_LS)
Ok how reliable are your motors. I have heard that a sohc cars cant hold that much boost with out alot of motor work and head work. Also how much are you all putting down on the dyno......

Re: (blown_LS)
Do you think i can probably find a dual ballbearing turbo i been reading alot they might be a little more expensive but you have a better spool ??? just something to think about going the extra yardline
