they have alot of different combinations of turbo's

most used one i think is the GT2530

but still that thing lists @ 2500.00

for that price, most Honda guys stick with Precision,Turbonetics,Garrett,Innovative and so on...

HKS turbo's are more popular with the Supra/RX-7 guys

Well im going to start a revolution of HKS civics , but would it be able to handle maybe 350+hp on a B16 with tuning, just like the turbonetics, and drag kits

expensive yes...

the hks turbos are garret turbos.. just made to hks specs and ball bearing and some other tweaks...thats why they are so expensive, ohh yeah and you pay about $150 per letter in "HKS"
