probably greddy for a good kit, but you don't get a I/C and BOV.. but Pete made a great thread to put together your own turbo kit for around $1000 in the DIY section.

you need to research BIG time. there isn't just one best cheap turbo out there, you have to get the right size turbo for your specific application and power needs.

Exactly. I studied my *** off before trying to boost my car. It's now week two of having everything on, and I'm still trying to work out kinks. You need to know as much as possible before even starting to buy parts

I thought I wanted 300 whp from my civic, but after getting 164 whp (fast spooling t3), I now know I would like 200+ whp with a t3/t4 for daily driving and weekend mountain driving. If I went straight to 300+ whp with a bigger t4 turbo (all the parts to $$$upport it) and more lag I would have not been too happy. That would have been good for drag racing, but that's not me.

Like others have said, research, but research what you plan on doing (drag, time attack, etc.)

Good luck!
