so im finally starting the turbo build in a month or two and found a kit that i decided on, i was just wondering if theres anything else you guys would suggest that i pick up besides gauges and a boost controller and the car will only be running at 5psi on stock internals until this summer so thanx in advance for any help

If you did the research like you should've, you'll know you'll need an ECU and a tune, no ifs, ands, or buts.

BTW, boost is addicting, those 5psi will soon be 9-10 before you know it. Do it right the first time, don't go cheap.

thanx man and yeah i forgot to add the ecu in the extra stuff i already knew i needed, and my buddy has a turbo gsr and a tsi so i know how addicting it is but 5 psi should get me through the winter and spring until summer when i can get rods and pistons

Holy crap Vivid Racing?

You should seriously not go near those guys. They sell very low grade parts; their stuff is legendary junk. They were a sponsored vendor on NASIOC, and they got kicked off the board because not only did their stuff break constantly, they actually stole money from some other companies.

You are in trouble if you buy that kit ...

well it was between that kit and this kit Turbo-Kits.com 94 - 02 Honda Accord LX, EX Turbo Kit i heard the f22 manifold is a didrect bolt on with the h23 and this kit comes with a lot of extra stuff i still need the computer parts though

why buy a kit?

h23sdominate · 11-03-2008, 01:18 PM

it just seems easier to buy everything at once, and i decided to go with the turbonetics kit but took artifex's advice and am just going through a different company
