You bet. Turbo is as addictive as cocaine.

this question has been asked on every honda board since their creation. the question is: what do YOU want to do? we aren't driving your car so all you'll get from us is just our opinions. refer to dave's post...

and by "built," you are meaning built for a turbo setup correct? i hate hearing people say "i'm gonna slap some toda spec-III cams in dat bitch, high compression pistions, etc" and then "t03/04E turbo!!!"

falsest statement of false statements. a turbo setup won't ruin your motor unless you ignore the tuning requirement. too often i see people bolt on a turbo kit and call it a day. then a few months later they are having severe problems. you can make a turbo as a reliable as the naturally aspirated counterpart.

Schmoo, maybe you could also post a picture of the "Smog plate" you have for your turbo kit that you mounted right clearly??

Something to always keep in mind with a modified vehicle, is that one thing a police officer will ALWAYS appreciate is cooperation.... present yourself to them as knowledgeable, have proof of legality layed out plain as day for them, and you're less likely to go through a lotta bullshit. =)

hehe, im going the "home made kit" route...luckily enuff i have a guy that can do a smog for 200....but it's a small price to pay for the difference in power over the greddy kit...and not $3200
