RE: turbo civic???
i bet if you put it on yourself you learn a ton more about turbos and how they work instead of when you pay someone....
i cant wait until i get all the parts for my turbo and then i can install!!!

I hear you man, I'm definitely battered and bruised. Didnt get more than 5 hours of sleep for 4 consecutive nights. The worst part of the whole ordeal is the "rollercoaster" you feel like you're riding. One minute you think "Damn, things are going really well, I'm gonna have this bitch on the road tonight." 5 minutes later you want to break down and quit cause it seems like you'll never finish. I'm not "done" yet, but just hearing it start up and run for a little bit last night was enough to put an ear-to-ear grin on my face.

^I couldnt agree more, and I haven't even felt boost yet. Just the sense of accomplishment that comes with having it be roadworthy is enough to keep a smile on my face for now. I'm sure that smile will never leave my face after I get to take some nice hard pulls
IT'S KILLING ME!!!!

okay so i am planning on buying the kit sometime within the next two weeks and i am just gonna do all the work myself just to prove sum CT dudes wrong but i just got a few questions, never in my life have i worked on a car. so will this be terrible for me to try and do myself or should i have someone help me do it all? is it pretty self explanatory or is it a pain to figure out

RE: turbo civic???
you should read up on turbos first and how to install them. if you want i have some links that will help you out, just pm me. you should have someone else being there that has done a turbo before, if not your going to run into a lot of problems you won't be able to figure out. where are you located at anyway?

Spend some time doing some research, if you want to do it over the winter, that gives you a few months to figure out exactly what you need, and find someone to give you a hand -- maybe find someone else in your area who's working on their car and offer to help them out, then they can help you with yours later. And it doesn't even have to be a Civic --- I learned a ton by helping out a friend with a motor swap in a freaking Neon, lol.
