just about to go turbo for the first time!!
hey guys,
just wondering what yall would consider for the first turbo setup for a 97' gsr. ive had a lot of suggestions, but still value you all's thoughts. im looking to pay around 2-2500 bucks on mostly a stock motor. maybe new cams and fuel upgrades later, but just wanted some help on where to look and maybe what type of turbo i should look for. thanks for all the help

fuel upgrades later??? no, you have it backwards, fuel upgrades now, turbo later 
I spent less than 2,000 on all my turbo stuff including fuel management (dsm 450's, uberdata, walbro intank)

BIZZAM!! HE is right! You can go kit like greddy
, revhard 
, full-race "BLING", but nevermind since I just realized that you want to spend $2000-$2500. $2500 is easily doable and you'll have a great setup. First the big mama...the turbo...do you want streetable fast spool or big fat HP numbers with great top end performance. I HIGHLY recommend Uberdata since hondata is pretty expensive for a $2500 budget. Please don't use FMU. I could keep going, but that is spoon feeding. READ UP!! I spent 5 hrs a day for a month just reading and not posting, now I know a **** ton and have read a couple books to help me out too. read read read read read read read read read. and then read some more. here is a good place to see what other people have done. if you really want to do this take your time and do it right the first time. good luck and please READ FIRST!!!!!
Hit the search button and type "Turbo" or "Turbo GSR" or "Turbo LS" then have fun reading for the next month or more
