Default Thinking of boost....96 Accord

I have a 96 EX I4 and was thinking if i went to boost what the pros and cons are. ALso what kind of pricerange.

I do know i need parts like a Fuel pump, injectors, fmu, bov, and turbo. I am not worried about fabricating as i have a friend that does it.

Has anyone boosted the motor (i think F22??) and what kind of prices am i looking at.

Any and all recommendations are appreciated.

$1,000+ for a decent home made set-up.
I would forgo the fmu and go with better tuning. As wit hany high performance set-up tuning is the key.

Default my 95 Accord

I have a 94 accord with the f22b1w/vtec and I put a turbocharger kit on it, I spent around 3k$ on all the parts and i havent had any problems but i upgraded the fuel and everything and its been about a year sense its been on and im pushing 11psi on stock internals and its running strong I had it dyno and at the wheels Im at 260hp its real fun. in all reality its all about the tunning and fuel and air ratio's. thats the reason why people blow there motors because they dont do it right..

Ive heard about it, but not on honda's.
You'll be better off with a more mainstream form of tuning that any competent tuner can tune for you.......
Check into hondata, uberdata, aem ems, etc...
