why do you have to laugh? His orignial post is better than saying "i wanna turbo my Civic! how do i do it?". This might help too....except ignore the Missing Link, go with Forty's chipped ECU idea in Fiirkan's link.

Just a heads up, be ready to replace the axles after a few months. My passenger side axle went out after the first 2 months of being boosted and my driver side when out after 5 months[&:] You can buy beefer axle's or just buy the stock axle from autozone's or kragen's which have lifetime warranty.

well if oyu want a reliable turbocharged Honda, don't skip out on the tune. Thast the most important part of the whole turbocharging setup, and it is the biggest factor in deciding if your car will blow your engine or be a reliable DD. Take it to a dyno, get it professionally tuned, and you'll be set. OBD1 chip/tune ftw!

^ actually i might end up going there myself. I'm from Upper Michigan, i've only heard good things about them. Only thing that sucks is that their website is super outdated [&:]
