if your thinking you got a real big bad stereo needing that battery/capacitor, your wrong, and get your car painted too, apc-enough said, yeah and it looks like your missing the sideskirt on that side too or your car is just really dirty, also get a J-O-B, thats how you afford stuff and dont do it the lazy man way and jack somebody elses stuff

Man, **** paint. And **** all the preaching about whether the man has a badass car stereo and missing a sideskirt and getting a job (not you, XCM; I think you were just trying to give him a good suggestion...nothin wrong with that). That's exactly the kind of stupid bull**** we see too much of from kids these days. It's not even close to as important as performance. Looks are nothing... Rico's got the right idea goin' after the turbo.

C'mon guys. The kid is 15. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a job at 15? And really who cares even if the car is a beat. If he does everything right in three years he'll have one bad-ass civic and that's all that matters. And at least he doesn't run to pep boys and add neon windshield washer jets...

There are plenty of good turbo kits out there for your car (which i might add is also my car). If you can find a used one that is in good condition, I'd say go for it, but make sure you have everything you need to run a safe turbo setup. Like I said above, you're gona need quite a bit more than a turbo and an exhaust manifold. And please don't go buyin one of those cheapo fake turbos off ebay.
