Default Turbo or no Turbo?

It is worth investing for a turbo for my 04 accord if there's a turbo out for it? And if there is which one should I look into?

That's a really general question actually. The answer is: It depends. What do you want out of your car? How long do you plan on keeping the car?

Adding a turbo to a car is an endless money pit. Some people have no problems driving tens of thousands of miles with their turbo Honda with no issues whatsoever. Most, however, are not that lucky.

I would suggest doing a lot of research and reading in the FI forum. It sounds like you don't know much about FI, and I definitely wouldn't turbo my car without at least a decent understanding of it.

Thanks. Yeah I'm new at this stuff. But I was planing to keep the car for a while. So I guess I should not really invest in it. But I will take a look in the F1Fourm and ask around there. Thanks again for the input.
