All I caught out of this was the above.

I'll buy your currently running GSR for 500$ before you blow it up with an ebay turbo kit

That's 500$ net profit man!

Alternately; as Grumble mentioned, stock will suffice for you; if you INSIST on changing it and it's not in an actual Integra GS-R using it's OE ECU, the butterflies wont work properly anyway, swap over to a B16 throttle body and save yourself a mint.

don't buy a **** like obx.

golden eagle is like an obx intake but a little more better.

If you want nice number with your turbo kit buy a skunk2

what are the pros and cons between the skunk2 and golden eagle?

I was told that with the golden eagle I would lose bottom and mid range power over a skunk 2

golden eagle has no plenum in the intake like oem or skunk2 intake. golden eagle is made for very high hp setup. Waste of money if your not planning to run high hp
