I'd suggest piecing together a kit. It tends to be less expensive and you get all the parts you want. Usually when you buy a kit there's a few pieces that are "known" to be worthless or will eventually need replacing.

If you do decide to get a kit. I'd say Revhard would be your top choice

Are you planning on running on stock internals?

For under 5g's you could get yourself a nice setup. That leaves enough money left over after you buy all the parts to get your car tuned. If you have a experienced hondata tuner in your area thats always a plus , by saying that I am suggesting you go with Hondata to tune the car

I agree, peice together your own turbo kit with some good fuel management.

If you really want to buy a kit I would recommend the DRAG kit that importparts.com is selling right now with a free Hondata system. If I had it to do over I would buy that!

heh i just dont like the drag kit manifold, but it gets the job done i guess, thats what i have now but ill find out how it goes when it goes on , just i hope i dont have any boost spike problems, but personally id probably want a revhard kit, but that deal that comes with the free hondata is really good so id probably get that instead, your motor will thank you
