Default Turbo Type-R what to do?

I am interested in putting a turbo on my B18C5. I have the engine in a 96 EX coupe. I know many people say to go all motor but the swap is done and I want a turbo so please no negative comments about it. I have looked into DRAG turbo kits and that is what I am thinking about doing. I have quite a large buget so I want everything done right. I am wondering what electronics to go with also.

I am looking to spend about 7,000 just to get started with my turbo system. There really isnt a limit in the end. I am looking to run a mid 12.

Order an Apexi Kit from Japan and do a block guard..Thicker head gasket to drop Comp. and Hondata..That should all run you about 5..I garuntee you'll do mid 12's at 10-12 psi

$7,000 sound about right....since you have a hybrid...I would go custom, and by parts from different manufacturers...

Well, if you want to run mid to low 12's, and have a budget of 7k, you could easily run that number and retain some reliability, and maybe even have soem money left over... if you are interested in the drag kit, then go ahead and purchase that, purchase an inline pro head gasket, and get a clutch and slicks, that should be enough for 12's right there IMO, and its not that complex, its probly the easiest way for soemone just getting into a turbo car...good luck..
