umm...well it depends on your budget...if don't want to spend your life savings put a whole kit together yourself. they sell cheap turbo's on ebay for around $200. but that's a risk. some people have positive feedback on them and some have negative feedback. its just if your one of the lucky one's. but if you want a good turbo there are many different brands: Garrett, Turbonetics, Greddy, HKS, and there are other ones. Take a look at the Forced induction forum. it will help alot. and i've got a garrett T3 .42 a/r for sale by the way. has a little shaft play but worked fine in my car! it also depends on how much power your looking to end up with. what motor do you have and what are your hp goals?

 

Money is not so much of a deal, I have a b16 and I really dont know how much more horse power I want. I just want something that is good. I dont want to do to much work on it. basically i want something bolt on and play. Greddy has one that is just bolt on. and it gives you about 200hp more in a stock engine. Thanks for the help if you can give me some more info that will be great thanks

 

well, since money isn't really an issue and you want just direct bolt on going with a greddy, turbonetics, or full race complete kit would be a great idea and much easier than the route the i took of piecing one together and making sure everything fits together correctly. but i'm not sure that your gain 200+ horspower. that's alot...but its possible. just go on different sites and look at which one you want. they make direct bolt ons for the B16 so it shouldn't be that hard. just get more info on boosting before you actually get a kit. what kind of car do you have?

 

I have a 99 civic si. b16

 

id go with a full race kit

 

drag kits are nice but go with a Borg Warner turbo S256 blows a 35r out of the water and spools faster

What do you mean by spools Faster???
