Default Going Jdm H22a Turbo, I think

What’s going on guys, after careful deliberation I have decided to go turbo next summer giving me about a year to collect all the money, parts and knowledge i need to do it. I have a 1995 Honda prelude si w/jdm h22a. I wanted to know what you guys thought of this turbo kit:

I will be running at 5 psi on my daily driver jdm h22a prelude. Hope fully running hondata s300, or crome for tunning.

I don't like it, I had a Drag Gen 3 Turbo kit, and even bolted together and installed by professionals, I only made 237 whp at 8-9psi. I leaked boost like crazy, my intercooler was small, and my wastegate/included manual boost controller (ie, deathknob), was total junk. I've since upgraded to a better kit more suited to crazy horsepower. Also, get a built h22, a JDM h22a w/ higher compression than USDM (10:6:1 compared to 10:1:1) is going to be a bitch to tune on, and your ringlands will go within a year if you boost creep to around 10psi consistently. Be careful. I would just piece together my own kit if I were you.

That kit is junk. The manifold has horrible wastegate placement as well so you'll have really bad boost fluctuation.

I actually got an email a few days ago from some kid installing this kit and he was saying how the intercooler piping doesn't match up at all.
