just letting everyone know that if you want turbo, dont let money stop you. i just read a book called How to Build Honda Horsepower. they turbocharged a b16a (vtec del sol) for $850 and put down 215 hp at the wheels at 6 PSI!!!!!!!!!!!!! they got a t3 turbo from a junkyard off a thunderbird or svo mustang, oil lines and fittings, fmu, check valves for map sensor, and a manual boost controller which us . they used stock 240cc injectors and no intercooler. they bought a drag turbo manifold which they said was the most expensive part of the project. they got a total gain of 60hp to the wheels for under $850.

the only prob with that is that you have to have a manifold custom made, which will set you back about 400. -------------------- 1994 Lexus ES300
