Default Help me piece together a turbo kit

I am looking to piece together a A/C compatible turbo setup. I have a GSR swap in my 2000 Si. The car right now has an Hks exhaust, tri-y header, skunk2 intake manifold, 68mm blox throttle body, password jdm whale intake, Hasport mounts and aem fuel rail. I am only shooting for 300-310 hp. Where have you bought your turbo parts? Post links, recommend me a turbo. Just help me out!

^^^ This really is the way to go, good kit from a good shop.

I have pieced together all of my turbo kits, and its not really worth it, next time I will save my self a lot of frustration and buy a good kit like this.

Some other things to consider that will go along with this kit and getting a reliable set up:

Convert to obd1 and run chipped ecu with crome/ectune/neptune or get hondata ecu.
New fuel pump & injectors
A clutch/flywheel that can handle the power
Exhaust system that is at least 2.5 inches
Install new oem headgasket with arp head studs is a good idea
Professional dyno tune

Expect to spend another $2000 on top of the price of the turbo kit to get all this done and have a reliable set up.

I appreciate all the help. I already have a stage 2 clutch and a 2.5" exhaust. How do I convert to OBD1?

If that Ebay kit even works or fits when you bolt it up, it will be shitty and every component will fall apart quickly.

Go-Autoworks is the path to take.

My eBay parts have slapped a lot of fools now. I wouldn't bother with anything too serious for your goal. Like taking the head off... It's got a good gasket and head studs leave it

You are just filled to the brim with poor advice, aren't you?

OP, make sure you get the head studs. It's cheap, and the only reason NOT to do it is laziness.
