Friends wants to turbo his lude...
A friend of mine has been saving his money and is looking to turbo his 01 Sh Lude... Neither of us know which kit would be best though...
I'm curious to know what kits are made, and are proven good to more than 10 psi? It will be daily driven at 7-8psi until he can build the motor and then the boost will be cranked...
The car is stock other than ACT Heavy Duty Clutch and Lightweight Flywheel.

Re: Friends wants to turbo his lude... (Hatchbizzack)
For a basic turbo kit with 7-8psi, go with the drag gen 4 kits. There are also revhard and fmax kits available for the h22a, i do not have any personal experience with these 2 though.
With the standard drag kit and v-afc you should be able to squeeze out anywhere from 240-260whp. I would also advise running the afc hack if you are not planning on running hondata for an engine management system.
Basically when you want to start making more power, you will end up replacing the original turbo kit components one by one. First you'll realize you need a larger trim turbo since the small t3/t4 peaks out at 300whp... then you realize you want a larger intercooler since it is hindering air flow... then you need to ditch the inline fuel pump and run an intank fuel pump... then come larger injectors, engine management syetems, and plenty more. So the best thing to do is figure out where you want to go with the project before buying something that will be replaced 2 months down the line.

A basic drag will, but keep in mind at this level the regular components will start to lose efficiency since they will be close to their maximum performance output.
If you want to get 12-14psi just upgrade some of the components.
