I need to boost HELP
I have a 1999 Integra LS 2dr B18B. I want to boost. I am very new to forced induction and I need some SERIOUS help. The only mods I have on my car are a AEM short ram intake, Skunk 2 exhaust, and 4-2-1 header. I want to know what would be a good set up for my car.
My car needs to still remain a daily driver. Keep that in mind. I would like to know what would be a good setup for my car that is under $2,200. I need to know everything that I would though. From th big things to all the little things. Or if there is a good kit I can that has everything please educate me on that.
I NEED TO BE EDUCATED. THANKS

Do yourself a favor, and EDUCATE YOURSELF. THANKS.
Decide what your HP goals are, then do some reading and researching.
Ill try to get you started.
Things you need:
-Manifold: There are two basic designs, log manifolds and equal length manifolds.
-Turbo: Turbos are sized by AR numbers. A good rule of thumb, the higher the AR, the later in the RPM range it will spool up/the more HP it can make.
-Downpipe: Connects the exhaust side of your turbo to the rest of your exhaust.
-Wastegate: Regulates the amount of boost pressure that your turbo will output.
-Intercooler: Cools off the hot compressed air coming out of the compressor side of your turbo.
-Blow Off Valve (BOV): Vents boost pressure into the atmosphere when you let off the gas.
-Oil Lines: Provides oil to and from your turbo.
I purposely left these descriptions incomplete, as you will learn so much more by researching yourself than by people spoon feeding it to you.
There are a few other misc things left to a complete turbo system, so go find out what they are.
Good Luck.

Ya, but don't think you need 5000$ to build a decent kit. It depends on your personal goals.
