GReddy kit. It's not complete though. Before you buy anything you need to do research so you can tell whether or not a kit is complete.

Classifieds on TurboD16.com, Homemadeturbo.com, or any other Civic forum. Piecing a kit together will give you the results you want, and you'll learn SO much more than buying a complete kit.

How much does it costs to buy a nice turbo kit ? A complete kit installed by a mecanic. Perhaps 2000 $ or more ? How much can he save if he installs it himself ?

You'll probably save $500 to install it yourself.

Good prearranged turbo kits range in price (brand new) from $1300 to infinity.

For example, check out the GReddy kits and the Edelbrock kits, just to name a few. Obviously they all are different and have different specs and quality, etc.

Also, take note that no turbo kit is complete, for you still require a tune. Also, many kits are missing parts you might want or need, such as the appropriate sized fuel injectors.

Research on what the required parts of the turbo kit are. We have an excellent thread stickied at the top of the forced induction section, and a couple turbo kit lists in the DIY section.
