Default What to look out for when buying turbo hondas?

I'm looking at a boosted civic and integra but I don't know much about turbos. How do I know everything is in mechanical order?

I know that buying a turbo cars sounds good, but its more fun to build it from the ground up. I would never buy a car that was turbo'd.

The best way to learn about it is to do it your self. That way if stuff breaks, you know how to fix it.

Depends who you ask. For me, no. If you are a person that takes care of your car, then doing a little extra wont be a big change for you.

Build your own that way you know what it can do and what will break it. This integra you speak of might have deep underlying problems. He's got to be getting rid of for a reason right?
