Yea jobs are pretty hard to come by. I applied at a few places and no one called me back. I applied at Sears Auto Center and i got an interview appointment in a few hours. Went to the interview and with my previous job being jiffy lube he said i would fit in perrrrfect!

That's sick dude, I would love to have a job as a tech or dealing with autos somehow. My uncle used to work for Honda of Southbay as a tech, he gave me everything I need to study and take their test, hopefully I could be up in Honda soon. As for my EK its coming along, going to autozone to replace my slave today/tonight, be rolling hard tomorrow!!

If you know what to look for,you can piece a kit together for about 500 buck or less. I'm all NA right now but soon will be boosting.

They don't make turbos for honda motors. You just find a turbo and have the manifold and down pipe made to fit.

91_LS: Dude your car is so fkin hot bro and its sitting on donuts at stock height! i would love to see that bish slammed with some wheels!

DA9_ALL_MOTOR: Honestly bro if you just want a really cheap turbo to have fun with then you CAN do what i did but most people will hate on you. I am B20Vtec with an Ebay turbo. So far its been running pretty good partially tuned. I need to get a boost gauge and Go back for a REtune and turn my boost up to 6-7psi.

Here is a link to a ebay turbo that has pretty much everything you need.

That kit just needs dumptube, fuel pump, fuel injector, boost gauge, half size radiator
