Dude, you posted within 10 mins upset because we havn't helped you yet? How about providing your goals with the car, do you just want a drag car? Do you want any handling? Has the motor been modded at all? Are you for sure going Turbo?

be prepared to use lots of money to turbo your h22a.

if you're dead serious about speed, you're talking 12+psi. so do it right the first time. get all the real deal parts so you don't ahve to upgrade old turbo parts later.

start off with the right trimmed turbo which will run you anywhere from $750-up, nice equal length manifold, tial wastegate, etc., etc.

it's going to cost a pretty penny, but no one said going all out on a honda was cheap.

i used to run an h22a turbo in my accord. now i have a fully built 2.0l 99 gsr pushing some serious power.

boosting honda=cash

If you go for the big stuff first then the little stuff; you will notice the difference the little stuff made.

Yeah, i'd get the turbo first and what you need to make it work. Then once you get all the small **** crank the boost. That way i think you'll also be happier with the smaller parts. HOwever, VAFC is awesome, and that I might get first.
