Default Picking out a turbo for my 03 civic ex

Anyone recommend a turbo kit for my car? Also, what kinds of mods need to be done to make it work properly? As always, thanks.

Yes, I realize this. I don't want answers from a FAQ. I want people's opinions based on their experience.

um what do you think a faq is going to give you? as for a good turbo it all depends on what kind of power you want. You can go with and internal or external wastegate, there are so many different things when it comes to turbos. You need to decide what you want out of your car and go from there.

you really do not want to be turbocharging your car with that knowledge of cars you will regret it.

Stick around the forums read up on turbos and just keep asking questions.

it's a good time to start learning

turbo and newbies don't work. however, (and that's a BIG HOWEVER), if you have money, you'll be fine.
