Yes a shop is building it for me, a set of professionals that have built race cars is working on my accord. They are telling me good advice for what i want to do, and the absolute most effecient way to get there. You are telling me your opinion, an opinion from someone that has not built anything. Only thing you are doing is repeating what youve heard from other people on the internet. Anyone with a realiable boosted honda pushing over 300whp knows it should be built by a shop that knows what they're doing. If i were to build it myself, i would end up like everyone else that has a broken honda and it wouldnt be completed for years- literally.

OK, because my buddy didn't build EVERY aspect of his 350+ WHP AWD Talon, and that on the street at 20psi. On C16, boost jumps to 30psi. I'd venture a guess that he knows what he talking about when it comes to forced induction. The simple rule is, back-pressure is the enemy of FI.

The chrome polished one on the right is the GT3071R

The one on the left is the one with a .82 ar. It spins so much smoother then the older garrett turbo i have.

And as you can tell by the foot prints left by both of these turbos, they are a little bit on the heavy side.
