I know this great place in Australia . . .

No idea if that's close to you or not, since you seem to have forgotten to mention your location . . .

im in Colorado but i would have to have it shipped anyway...all the shops i have gone to would have to order one out of state... so there is no point having a middle man that will cost me more in the long run

I am sure they could but would they? Deep pockets or good friends are your solution.

The problem is not the physical turbo install, that just needs fab shop to wild up custom piping .
The real issue is engine management , the new Accords are DBW ,F-CAN , Auto trans ,VSA ,ABS is all integrated into ECU .
So you can't easy run stand alone (unless you don't mind 1/2 the stuff not working in the car ).
Piggyback units might work but ECU are smart now and some changes the ECU will relearn, try and altering back to OEM settings (long term fuel trim's ). A reflash with 2-3bar map sensor would be est case but nothing is out on custom reflash yet .

If you want speed, you shouldn't have bought a v6 Accord or any Accord for that matter. A quick search and you'll find that aftermarket support is very low, therefore parts are rather expensive (per horsepower gain) and most are custom fabbed. They have a nice punch for stock, just throw on some bolt ons, a mid-high 13 second car is plenty for daily driving.

IMO, just work on suspension and you'll have a very fun car.
