oooh, this post....

unless you have a couple grand to spend, you're not going to get a lot of power out of the y7. Of any "smaller" mod, the mini-me would be the best choice though.

What do you mean by "decent" turbo? Size? Condition? And "running bout 6-8 PSI" means NOTHING at all. What size turbo? And what about the rest of the turbo setup? What size injectors? What size exhaust? What are you using to tune? You need to do soooooo much more research if you are thinking about boost, and you'll also need a couple grand.

It's header, not headers btw, but like nike said the turbo mani will take its place anyway.

Mini-me, intake, exhaust, and you'll be happy. Then research your *** off, save up some money, and boost.

some extra wire
some ecu pins from a donor car

and since you have all that stuff off during swap go ahead and get new timing belt/water pump
Perfect, now since installing all this is no problem, have a buddy who works on Honda's Where can I find all these parts?
