you can find nice ones on ebay for fairly cheap, just make sure its a legit one and not a knock-off. Also, check the classifieds here on HCF, also Honda-Tech.com, TurboD16.com, Homemadeturbo,com, and Clubcivic.com

craigslist.com and find one close to you so you dont have to deal with shipping, paypal, or anything.

if you go to ebay make sure your not buying a "like" item. i've seen some upthere that are turbos, but are like a certain brand and also they have crappy compnents, i am looking myself on there for one. i am thinking about a garret, from TSI. or turbonics. i just wanna buy the whole hting at once and not have to piece one together, problem is gonna be installing it, i dont trust myself with it, so i will need to pay someone. anyone here form CT, RI, MA, that could recommend a good place? sorry to double post/drop a Q in someone elses post. my bad... but i need to know. thanks in advance

Ok, I found a turbo on ebay. Its water cooled and has a internal wastegate. So right now I need:

Turbo manifold
Downpipe
Pipe that goes to intake (Charge pipe I think its called not sure)
BOV

What else am I going to need. Im going non intercooled for the time being. I want to run at around 7-8 PSI. What else do I need? I know I need bigger injecters not sure what size thou.

Your taking a big chance in buying that turbo since has no brand name... mostly likely is made by ssautochrome. I would look into buying a brand name turbo like garrett or turbonetics.

Also, why risk itrunning without an intercooler, just be patience and save a little to get one.
