You need to go out and grab the following.

A chipped ECU with Chrome, Neptune or Hondata software.

At least 440 Injectors. A good brand called RC makes them.

Do not even dare bring the turbo kit remotly near that car until you grab the above said.

Finally, I want to see what turbo kit you bought. You said too lightly... not that I dont believe you got a kit but I want to see what brand. If its what I think it is I feel bad for you.

There is no "JDM Turbo Kit," which leads me to believe you probably got an SSAC setup. It CAN work, but I highly recommend getting the welds on the manifold beefed up and braced. Post a link to the kit you bought though.

Like Remmy said, you'll need bigger injectors and a good solid fuel management system. If you want to same some cash on the injector setup, look for "DSM 450's", you'll need to do some minor wiring but its really not too bad.

run injectors over 400cc. i have to upgrade my 310cc because they are way to small and it sucks but guess you have to learn the hard way tuner toys sells drop in 440cc for 219 plus shipping.
