Turbo LS/VTEC or B18
I have a B18A that I'm planning on turboing, but I'm trying to decide if I want to do the LS/Vtec with the turbo or not. Anyone have any info that could help me decide? What would be good about each one? What would be bad about each one?

if u make your own kit then u can do it for under 1000
and u dont have to change the head for boost...</TD></TR></TABLE>
I STRONGLY disagree with that first statement, although it does depend on what level you're taking things. IF you can make your own kit, which is typicall NOT the case since most people aren't versed in that arena, it is feasably cheaper...but you'd be using a cheap manifold, turbo, and fuel management. What about tuning? Again, it's all up to what level you're/one is willing to take it.
btw...DA driver....there are a few kits made for you I think turbonetics makes one for the DA. You really need to search and learn and figure out what it is that you are willing to spend and what your goals are. THEN and ONLY THEN can anyone give you a correct direct answer.
and another thing...DON'T SKIMP...you WILL regret it. all you have to do is read about all the folks that cheaped out on parts and well, you know what happens...
