Default Wanting a Very VERY light turbo setup

What im looking for, is maybe 10whp more than my NA setup. I dont wanna spend too much, but wanna jump on the turbo train.

Maybe a really low PSI turbo, and manifold. Im so sick of hondas exhaust manifolds, these stupid exhaust leaks.

Is this possible with hardly any tuning? if i just want a very very minimal turbo setup? i have no access to a dyno, and not much cash, but woiuld like to piece together a small turbo setup. I have the piping. What is the lowest i can go with out tuning?

10 peak hp over your NA setup would net you probably a 20% loss of power throughout the entire rest of the powerband.

Reconsider your goals and do more research.

i have done my research, however most of the **** is people trying to blow the expletive outta their engine with huge PSI and numbers. Im just ******* trying to get a more efficient setup since i have alot of the parts lying around like oil plugs and lines.

Im also looking to get a different style exhaust manifold since ive had one to many of the 4-2-1 oem ones. I also dont wanna build the block.

And i didnt mean 10 peak hp, i mean an average of 10whp higher output, that could mean a ******* 100whp peak output.

Just a small *** turbo for a DD is what im looking for, and more of a project, however i CANNOT get access to a tuner where i live

25R is even smaller.
Theres a 22 and a 12 I think. Depends what engine you're trying to put it on... go too small and you'll just choke it.

dsm turbo from a talon will work. might be able to use talon manifold too (not sure which blocks it fits on). dirt cheap but no matter what I'd suggest a tune FMU will have u run 10:1 i believe

1.) what engine is this you're working with, dumbass. We can't help you if you pose confusing questions and respond to our answers with aggression and stupidity.

2.) tuning is necessary regardless of the boost level, so why go 4 pounds when you can go 8 pounds just as safely with just as much (or little) tuning?

3.) what's your budget?

If you want to feel 10whp throughout the powerband, leave teh g/f at home.
