u should be able to use most pieces from it because they are universal....but the piping and whatnot obviously wont...and how big is the turbo...
+injectors+FMU recommended
bigger=more internals needed for upgrading

definately start using that search button quite a bit....if u can find out the size u may not need to mod the engine too much....but it's also good knowlege to contact ur local acura mech and find out how much boost ur engine can handle........do u have a b18b or a b18c either way there is a limit to the amount of boost u can put into it safely....once u start to go above that...things start breaking....and to answer ur question....no it's not a small/easy job lol...and ur looking at another 500 at least in parts if u find AMAZING deals

1) do u just have the turbo or the whole kit?

To get it to work, mechanically, you are going to have to have a custom manifold, downpipe, and charge piping made.

There is a lot more to a turbo kit than just a turbo, so you really need to find out what is needed on top of the turbo and all the custom piping required to make it fit.

yea if your handy with stuff you can fab parts to make it fit. other then that its work and work = $. you might be able to sell it on ebay or something and put that money to a system for your car. im making up a kit and if spent 2k already, im doing the installation and all the piping. but i still need to get it dynoed which is some ca$h. GL though

I'll take that turbo off your hands if you aren't interested in it. I have a little project in mind. :rick:
