Default Turbo Opinions?

I have been doing a lot of research lately about turbos and plan to turbo my 98 Accord within the next 3 months. I was wondering how many accords have turbos and which one you have. I am planning on going with the DRAG kit from Ben, but it isn't out yet and probably won't be til April. I know F-Max is what a lot of people have so can you give me pro's and con's of whatever kit it is you have. Also, did you buy a complete kit, or piece it together? How much boost are you running and do you still have stock internals?

if i were to purchase a turbo, i'd either get a F-Max or design a turbo system myself... but that's just from the observations i've done...

Exactly. Establish what your goals are with the turbo setup then see if any kits can achieve those goals for you. If not, then go custom. Knowing what you want is the key.

the best is to have someone design one for the accord im going to get one soon and i looked into it and asked around some say try f-max but majority said custom is the best way to go. f-max is good since its made up of different brands but im going custom and i recommend it to u also!!!!

The only reason I was asking in here was because Accords are different than a lot of other cars on here. One, they don't make many kits for my car(98+) and I have never seen an accord running boost over maybe 10 psi. Just wondering how much boost a non-hybrid accord can run safely and stuff like that.
