ok ive took your advice and im having fmu put on it friday... im safe to drive it lightly till then right? ia performance is gonna be doing all the work. i got a guy there thats gonna do i all so all will be good
Im sorry man, but it sounds like you have no idea what you got yourself into. If your asking about octane, and the BOV not making a certain sound, im pretty sure you dont know what your doing. If you couldent afford proper engine managment, why did you put the kit on?? And that FMU is CRAP, get that thing out of there and tune it properly with a stand alone or chipped ECU. I hope you dont blow that thing up, just do the research you should have done before you got to this point

I'm going to have to agree with t34me. A turbocharger is not a n00b mod, and you really can't expect the engine to just take it up the intake and live to tell about it. Hell, even in Need for Speed you have to upgrade your engine and injectors and get it tuned in order for your mods to work.

My advice would be to pull of the turbocharger and replace it with the stock exhaust sytem. Then, start reading a lot about how a turbocharger works, what happens when it works, and how to make it work. Learn from the mistakes of other people, and learn what is good and not good. Just think about it, if you blow up your engine because you didn't know what you were doing, well you're going to be out a lot more than just a few bucks. Engines aren't cheap, and labor is even worse.

Here's some sites to start with.

www.howstuffworks.com
This website, search the FI forums or maybe even ask some of the members who have experience in the forced induction feild.
www.honda-tech.com (FI forum FAQ will answer every possible question you could ever have)
www.turbod16.com
www.d-series.org
www.turbobygarrett.com
www.pgmfi.org

Honestly, take a week or so and just read as much as you can from those websites. You will understand what is going on, you will know how to fix problems that arise, and you will know how to tune and work your car correctly. It will take some work, but there's no reason that you should be in the dark about what is going on in your engine bay.
