Okies, i'm new with the whole import scene, but i'm really wanting to learn and make sure i get things straight before i attempt or purchase anything for my ride. I've got a 2000 Acura Integra Gs and I'm wanting to purchase a turbo for it. Anybody have any suggestions about what type of turbo would be good for the car? Or are most turbos the same just price difference due to the brands? Any information would be helpful! thanks!

 

get a spoon engine with a t-66 turbo and then add in two big chrome bottles of naaaaws

 

Do some reaserch, before you get ripped for your money.

Rjardy
knows his ****, nice guy.
he answered most of my questions when i bombarded him with my newbie questions a while ago

the best advice i can give you is this

Before you go start buying stuff do research
not necessarially on your turbo
but first on what you want to do with your car.
if you just want 13's get a kit and leave it at that.
if you want a high 10 second beast your gonna need deep pockets and alot of free time.

good luck

 

Well rjardy can count on im's within 15 days! Really looking forward to learing about this! Thanks i'll need the LUCK Kamin!!

in my opinion, you get the most bang for your buck with the drag turbo kits. some modification is required, but after that you can safely boost 7psi, but turbos do require maintenance so just keep that in mind. if you need a kit, get a hold of me i get drag kits at a good price.

 

In the progess of install a DRAG 3 kit also

 

the instructions on the first website is for sale on ebay
rippin people off!

 

I did about 6 months of research before I turbo'd my car. Any advise id give to u is to not rush it, do ur research(honda-tech) and read the book "Maximum Boost" by corky bell. After enough time you will have the knowledge and understanding of what it takes to turbo a honda and how to do it right. That way you can be sure that u r making wise decisions in ur turbo buying that will make u alot happier in the end.
