Piecing one together would be more aggravating but would safe you some money. Knowing that you want 350whp is a good start. I'm not a huge civic guy so someone else is going to have to help you choose a good turbo.

But find you a turbo first and build around it. to save you some money.

This question would be better answered in the Forced Induction forum. If you'd like me to move it, just say so in here and i will move it for you.

There are several good turbo "kits" available for your setup; however, as stated earlier, building your own setup allows you to tailor it to your exact setup and goals.

Which K20 do you have? That's something to think about when making power goals. 350 is easy if you have a K20a2/z1/z3. Also it would be cheaper to piece together a kit but if you want a kit try Peakboost, Full race, AFI, Inline pro and there are many others. Don't cheap out on the tuning either. Good luck!!!

Full Race has an awesome K20 kit. I know someone with a K20 EK running that kit, and it looks great in there.

Just get a manifold that has twin 44s gates or a 60 and you should be good to go. I would piece together a kit personally.

for 350 hp twin wastegates are not necessary at all. A good single 38 mm waste it would do just fine for that power level. That's a bit overdoing it for that need. Check out AFI, Full-Race and Peakboost. those three companies alone should do the job.

Agreed, I wouldn't look at anything else other than Peakboost, Full-Race, or AFI. All 3 of those companies have the best kits on the market. You can't go wrong with any of them.
