I'm thinking about a complete new exhaust system for my 94 hatch (carbs not injection, though) and thought to myself why not go the whole hog. Has anyone any experience of a turbo conversion? Is it widely available, what are the pitfalls etc
Looking forward to some interesting reading!
Thanks

I turbo'd my 98', funnest few grand I ever spent. It is so easy to find a turbo kit for a civc. pitfalls... turbo lag, hahaha but its well worth it. Just make sure the person doing the install knows what he/she is doing.
you can reach 200+ Hp with a turbo setup with an intercooler on your stock motor safely (at maybe 6-7 lbs. of boost) . If you have the money to spend, get the ballbearing turbo, its worth it[sm=smiley2.gif]
