If your not looking to go all out then dont go turbo. Everyone here, or that ever went turbo will pretty much vouch for this.
Also, nothing is simple about turbocharging.

True True, a turbo is a finicky item and can be hard to tune and evan to get to run right (especially peicing it together). My advice to you would be if you dont want to go all out , just save a few dollars and maybe get a jrsc, not as much performance but allmost dummy proof (not saying your a dummy), there a few dollars cheaper and pretty simple.................. just my 2 cents...

i just didnt think i should go all out on a first turbo im trying to pueice together...i would love to just jump into a big turbo set up but tehn again my enigne probably wouldnt abel to handle it...i am wanting to understand turbo and how it works so i furgured i would stat off with a lil one then work up to better and bigger ones later when my engine could handle it.........so would most down turbo parts be interchangable from one company to another(rev hard..drag...greddyy...etc etc...

to make it easier....those parts will not interchange....the only thing that will probably interchange from the manifold area is the turbo itself

You can blow your engine up JUST as easy with a small turbo as you can with a big turbo. 6psi can blow your engine up. 4psi can blow your engine up.

Sky high RPMs + lean condition = one sad honda owner.

Wanting to learn? Start with books..... Maximum boost isnt too bad. You might learn something. There are lots of books out there. Go for it.
