Hey
I have a 2003 honda civic coupe d17 imported from the states,all stock parts except an inox filter k&n, and an exhaust too...all the rest is as they come out!
First of all i would like to know if its worth it to install a turbo and how much can it "boost" the car, but honestly i dont even know where to start
On ebay theres tons of products and i cant decide what to choose
Would be nice if someone could give me some guidelines, would be very thankfull
Im sorry if this is a re-post but i got to know this forum a few days ago and im the typicall newbie
Thanks

 

Welcome to HCF and thank you for you post, we strongly recommend our new users to try the search feature before posting.

I believe this thread here will answer a lot of your questions, if not it would be the thread to ask your questions. Enjoy your stay here on the forum.

 

yes indeed welcome. there is a lot to learn and know about before boosting any vehicle. I still do not kow enough. But i do know not to order anything off of ebay. so as advice dont buy off ebay. you may have to pay a bit from the name brand websites but it is worth knowing you ARE gettin worthwhile parts. hope this helps

 

^^^ not ENTIRELY true. For most people, an eBay FMIC and piping will work just fine. Other than that, I wouldn't use anything of eBay brand. Also, I'm currently working on a DIY turbo install with accompanying parts/price list

 

homemadeturbo.com has quite a few turbo parts in the classifieds if you end up piecing the kit together, but a lot of time on teh newer models you need to buy a complete kit to make things easier. Make sure to read the "Turbooing D17's" sticky too.
