Piping and reccomendations
If I buy a turbo kit for a d17 will I still need to cut into the car like in the diy, or should the piping fit without any modification to the car.
Also if I am looking to put down about 160whp - 180whp should I just use petes list and add some fuel management or should I go with a full kit because the d17 is a bitch?

NO matter what kit you go with, it's always going to require some cutting here and there. It's really simple though, just get yourself a die grinder and a cutting wheel and you'll be money. You shouldn't have to modify the car intself, but rather the piping. THe only thing I had to cut on my car were the black plastic water gaurds.

you are going to need fuel management no matter what turbo kit you run. also you are going to have to modify you car somehow so the piping will fit.

(Thanks for answering all my silly questions. I've still got alot to learn before I start to buy my parts)

it doesnt matter what you get, turbos make your engine less reliable. i would follow pete's grocery list and go off of there. or if you going for a kit, there is the greddy kit for d series and they are really good, but i would replace the fuel engine management on the greddy kit. also i would think piecing you own kit together would be better, so you know what every part does. all i can say is research, research and research somemore man.

And what makes the peiced together kits so much more expensive, at least for 01-05 civies.

Full Kits (which I assume is what you're talking about) are more expensive because they have a big brand name on them, and usually include every last item you need for a full install
