FM I see only one option, Hondata K-Pro, no matter what you use or what upgrades, it can be tuned for it. AEM FMC is not a bad option, but a little more limited than K-Pro.

As for the turbo, it depends on what you want out of your car? Response or power? I have a t3/t4 because I want quick response and my power goal is not over ~450hp. Going larger will have more lag, but overall more power.

Plan out what you want to do with your car, then you can plan on what you need to get your car there.

if u dont have money to get kpro, dont turbo ur car.

**** is going to break. if you're going for the cheapest parts now, you're going to pay dearly down the road.

boost + cheap management + stock internals=bad. you might lucky and run it for about 30k miles, at about 8 pounds of boost from a t3, but with no fuel upgrades and ****...you will get a lot less than 30k miles. bigger injectors, 255 lph fuel pump. you are going to need atleast a fmu(i strongly advise against it).

do it right the first time. boost isnt cheap. i suggest you just take the money and get a k20 or k20a2.
