Default Got my first integra, suggestions #2?

Yah.. so my other post was closed because some people were acting beyond immature..
Anyways, as some people suggested, I have already replaced rims(Sportmax 006 16' with red lip) and rubber (falken ZE-512). I have also replaced the water pump, changed all oils and starting to replace the spark plugs tomorrow. I am also planning on ordering a full coil over set, probably Tein's or Koni's.

Other than those plans, I have also been convinced that Forced Induction is the way to go! I was skeptical at first, mainly because of the price and maintenance it will require, but since it seems to be the crowd favorite, I'm joining the club. Can anyone suggest a decent turbo that wont leave my wallet bone dry? I'm thinking a price range of 3000$. The cheaper it is the better, but no bolt ons from eBay =\

Thanks for all the suggestions in my other Topic!

Yeah that is true.. but I don't need anything top of the line considering this is going to be a car I use on a daily basis. A 5000$ kit that needs constant maintaining isn't really what I'm looking for =\

I've found some cheaper Greddy kits for 2389.99.
They seem to claim that they are reliable for daily driving but have the power when needed. Looks promising

A car in general needs constant maintenance, adding bolt on performance parts only adds to the need for constant maintenance. It has been said so many times before: cheap, fast, or reliable you can only have two. This will not be the first turbo integra, look around see what's out there for reseach and get a turbo.

you can buy a prety solid turbo kit for 3000 i think, but if you dont know **** about turbos dont even do it. Research your *** off for at least a month or so because the options and setups with hondas and what all you can do is insane.

I myself have been saving, researching, and gathering parts for my diy setup for the past 2 years and i think im finally ready to do it this summer.

Having ridden in a turbo crx, Da, and Dc i can tell you wont be disappointed going forced induction tho
