you should do some research before spending money, and save at least 500 bucks for the tune after you go turbo. Your computer's tune is more important than the components of the turbo system for protecting your engine. If you want to do some research check out homemadeturbo.com and go to the forced induction section of Honda-Tech and read up on some things for a couple days before making any decisions. Education=saving money+heartache when going turbo, trust me I am speaking from experience.

Don't forget you also need to upgrade your fuel system as well.
