Proper tuning is probably one of the most important and most commonly overlooked aspects of a turbo setup.

if your looking to make like a high hp y8, i would rebuild the motor sleeved, etc

daily you can piece together a good kit for fairly cheap, and spend some good money on tunning and you will be set...

dseries.org has some good info iam sure... check it out

Try the boost forum - this might turn into a "Don't boost it!" vs. "Boost it!" topic since it's in the Civic forum, not the boost forum.

All depends on what your intentions are. You can piece a crappy one together for 1500+, get a full kit for 3k+, or a custom turbo setup for over 4k. Going turbo is not cheap what so ever if you want it done properly.

I have seen turbo's go for 700+ and the manifold/DT/DP go for 1k+ easy. Dont forget you still need the IC, WG, BOX, Oil/Vac lines etc etc.
