Default Turbo install

Im getting ready to purchase everything for a turbo install on my f22b2 motor. Is there anyone who has a boosted f22b that learned anything the hard way? Or do you have strong suggestions for or against anything? I will post a list of everything im lookin at soon.

avoid FMUs or the AFC hack. get it tuned by a GOOD tuner. the F does not like much ignition timing.

I already have a chipped and tuned ecu by a good tuner (motoxxxman, my brother) along with msd ignition box, runs mint. Obviously I will avoid FMU's and any/all hacks. Long story short, I was just planning on throwing in a turbo and intercooler kit and new injectors, then a new tune. By the way, will i need to get a smaller civic radiator or will a turbo setup fit behind the stock radiator and fans?

what kind of manifold do you have? on mine (log from spoolin) we had to hack the front torque mount and cut some out of the hole behind the drivers side headlight to get the IC piping to fit. umm other than that i cant think of too many surprises. good luck and to another turbo accord
