Default turbo kits

Ive been looking at ways to get more hp. Was looking at N2O but am now looking at getting a turbo. Ive been looking at the turbo kits, are these kits everything you need for a stock engine? Theres a few on line around $2500-3500 for up to 8psi if I remember correctly. If I bought one of these kits would it simply bolt on? Is this the best option to go or is there a less expensive route that will still work fine with a stock engine (apart from cat back exhaust, air intake and a vafc which will be tuned when I get the turbo)

i think you should do some more research
on this before you make a decesion to turbo
your stock prelude.
remember, tuning and engine management are
the keys to making your motor last

research. though many kits are 'bolt ons', they are not simply 'plug and play'. a lot of management is required. get all the knowledge and advice you can before you install one, blowing your motor is a real possibility.

turbo gets you a lot of hp for the $, but make a bad choice, and you'll be without engine and have to fork over a lot of dough....do it right the first time...

read threads in on turbo in this forum and surf the net...

to me 8psi is pushing the maximum amount i would consider for a stock engine...
i would consider 6psi more realistic for your set-up (stock)...
