Gimme some more info on the integra...

As for estimated HP... a buddy with the same mods pulled 124HP at the wheels on the dyno. Keep in mind, that's <u>at the wheels</u> and the car is nice and light.

I'd definelty help the buyer out with sourcing parts for the car too... like turbo stuff. VW turbo stuff is relatively cheap if you shop around, I built a turbo "kit" in an 84 GTI I had for $500... it could be done in this car for around $1000 (for everything including piping).

Turbo this can and go spank VR6 GTi's , twin turbo S4's, whatever floats your boat...

The engine has super low miles, and will keep going strong for another 100,000

YES, most definelty... there are tons of VW guys running this motor with turbos... totally stock internals

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">how many pounds of boost can it handle safely for daily driving?</TD></TR></TABLE>
probably around 12psi or so... or up to around 250HP on all stock internals.

Well, its not a kit you can buy... Im talking about making your own.

Most parts would be sourced from VWVortex.
-Manifold ($200)
-T3 ($350 NEW)
-feed and drain lines ($50)
-tap the oil pan ($5)
-2 headgaskets, stacked for lower CR ($50)
-Chip ($100 NEW)
-g60 injectors ($40)
-Intercooler ($100 ebay)
-DSM Gen 1 BOV and elbow ($30 ebay)
-piping ($50 or less)

...all that adds up to $975

oh yeah..
-boost contoller ($10 ebay)
-A/F and boost gauge ($50 used)

so... $1035

I could help... if thats what youre asking

However working on the car at my apartment is not an option- so you'd have to be close and have a place to do the work
