Im not sure if its ok for me to post links or not, so ill just give the part in betweeb www. and .com I found a site that seems to have a turbo for any model integra. The site is turbo-kits. Ive never done business with them, so buy at your own risk. They do however, seem to have a kit for every application. Hope this helps.

Was wondering if anyone has pieced together a FAQ for the mandatory parts you would need to construct your own kit?

ok my last car was a 97 integ ls,that i put on a custom turbo kit. the first thing to consider is the turbo manifold, i used a cast iron one cause it is much stronger than those stainless tubular ones. then i purchased a turbonetics t3 turbo, i choose the t3 because it was easier for the turbo to spool up and i was running on 70k internals. next i purchased a good waste gate, i used a turbonetics evolution waste gate. I got a greddy intercoller from my friend and had a muffler shop custom weld and bend the intercooler piping. i bought all the clamps and fittings in home depot. i also had the shop weld on my turbo xs bov. another thing to keep in mind is the fuel delivery to the engine. I used a blox fmu, missing link, and walbro fuel pump. if you do piece your own kit there might be problems you can run into. for example, my turbo couldn't clear the integra dual radiator fans so i had opted for a civic half radiator and fan. that also meant i had to lose my ac! which here in vegas is murder during the summer. anyway the car ran great at 7 pounds of boost, killed GTs easily hope this helps you out good luck with your build.

Stainless steel tubular manifolds WILL BREAK. Regardless of how shitty the welds are or whatever, you can't blame the company that sells them, if you have a tubular manifold, expect it to break.To put it simply, the metal is not strong enough to stand up to constant vibration. It will get brittle over time, it will break. Drop a little more money to ensure you get a decent manifold. I've heard good things about Blox manifolds believe it or not, and they are pretty cheap compared to others.

e-bay is a good place to take a look at all the different options, but remember, you get what you pay for!!!

if on ebay, stay away from ssautochrome, go with a name brand greddy-turbonetics-garrett and do your research!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good luck

pm me for details on my new setup (t3/t4 turbonetics revhard greddy custom)

From what I hear, "cheap", and "turbo" dont mix very well.
