Ok I am toying with the idea of going turbo and i've been doing a little bit of research and I would like to know what you all think of what I have compiled so far and what you think I'm leaving out. This is going to be a pretty mild build up. Only looking for around 220whp tuned for right now. The parts i'm pretty firm on and don't need anything excessive for right now.

The car: 99 Civic Si, Ultra R crank pulley, Ultra A alt pulley, no a/c, no p/s, no cruise, no abs, gutted from front seats back, KYB AGX's, custom rated ground controls, beaks kit 22mm rear bar, itr rear strut bar, azenis all around, slotteds/ultimates/earl's lines, c/f hood...that's how the car sits now.

Planned Parts:
greddy kit, greddy fmic kit, type s bov, itr t/b, itr i/m (i can get these cheap, and don't want the JG), hondata i/m gasket, test pipe, exhaust, cam gears, colder plugs, 255 pump, 1:1 fpr, portflow standard head work, turbo timer, boost controller, P28 ecu, hondata s200 w/ boost, obd2-obd1 harness, fluidyne, act xtss clutch, lw flywheel, quaife. That what is planned for now. If I get a lil money I may do Eagle ESP's, JE 9:1's golden eagle and ARP's and boost in the teens, but for now i plan on stock boost for the street and 10-11psi track only. What do you guys think as a good street set-up just for fun? Anything else recomended?
Thanks.

i dunno how much all that adds up to but i did my turbo on my vx for just over $1000 running at 5psi soon to be 7 or 8 safely for over 6 months. the reason for "soon to be 7 or 8psi" is becuz i just bought an intercooler off of ford probe for $20 and ill be putting that in this weekend. ive been running turbo without intercooler all this time on my VX!!

if u've got the funds for all that then go for it

Mr Hammond

Thanks for the replies. When I do something though, I like to do it right the first time.
