Default Is there such a thing as.....

I turbo kit that you can put on a GSR that you can drive the **** out of and won't blow up the motor?

I know that is a really lame question, but here is the deal. I would really like to go turbo, but I don't want to have to rebuild the motor because it blew up. I don't want to have to spend a TON of cash with pistons, rods, sleaves, or anything else. Also I am not looking for a ton of power, just more than 210whp or so. Again, I don't want to have to be constantly concerned with having the motor explode.

Thanks, and sorry for the lame question, but everyone talks about big power but reliability is key for me. Is this possible to do?

Is there a guy named arturbo that hasnt blow up his engine yet(knock on wood)? But in all seriousnes it will last as long as you want it to. I do regular maintanence all the time, whether it be an oil change, timing belt or what ever. Take care of your car and it will take care of you. It doesnt matter what turbo kit you get, its all how you feed the system with fuel.
I recomend a turbo kit with some sort of stand alone(Hondata, AEM, etc...). Forget the FMU or MF2 crap..

What kit would you recomend using for my application. I am sure that there are many not so turbo Honda savvy that want to know the same thing. I bet that there are a ton of would be turbo owners that are on the fence because of reliability.

thanks
