i just got my b16a2 swap done, and i know further down the road i'm gonna turbo it, but i'm wondering what should i start to do in preperation. I'm asking cause i really don't wanna waste my money on useless stuff ya know?

In preperation?


Well, you could always buy crap off the shelf, but I say, before you go turbo, you...

1) Buy a spare P28 ECU, learn how to rechip it and learn how to tune with Uberdata.
2) Get basic welding equipment and learn how to weld pipes.
3) Make room for the giant intercooler that you are probably going to end up with.
4) Buy and read "Maximum Boost".
5) Save up for a quality manifold that you know will last.

For the love of god, don't spend a single cent until you have a full understanding of what you need and what you are getting into. Just the fact that you had to ask this shows you are not ready. You have much to learn, young padawan.

yea i know i've never really been into turbos, but i figured i's give it a shot. I originally wanted b20 vtec, but i didn't wanna mess with frankensteinin ****. So anyways, where should i start gathering and sucking in as much knowledge on turboed hondas and more specifically turboed b16a's?&lt;&lt;i know you recommended maximum boost any others for my specific set up?
