Try to be realistic about how you want to drive your car. Some people think they can turn their dailey driver into some sort of race car when in reality it really isn't that. In my opinion, if you want to make your car a pretty damn fast street car, then just buy a bolt on greddy turbo kit instead of having a totally custom made kit. Also, be realistic about how much hp you want. In most cases, the more horse power and torque the more problems you're going to have.

The Jackson Racing supercharger is a good alternative too. Look into that and then decide for your self.

IMO the best thing you can do is spend a LOT of time researching forced induction, deciding if you're willing to take the relaiblilty hit, and in the meanwhile saev the cash and put some of it to drivers training/racing school/auto-x/etc.
what does being a nOOb have to do with whether he go's with full race or not? full race has one of the best turbo kits out there but also one of the pricier of turbo kits....

$4729 for a kit thats good up to 450hp(and thats really limited by the turbo)
and full race main sellng point is their tubular manifold...heres the link if you want to check it out
http://www.full-race.com/catalog/pro...roducts_id=825

but as mentioned decide what you want out of the car...n/a...forced induction....what kind of hp/tq numbers you want....do you like just the 0-60mph sprints or are you a top end/rpm lover...all of these can decide which way you wanna go

IMO if you dont want much more than 250-300whp go with a supercharger cuz you are really gonna have blast of a car to drive....just take a look at this dyno from hondata.com

318whp from a 03 rsx-s k20a2 w/
jackson s/c running 7psi(3.4" pulley)
550cc injectors
CAI
edelbrock wet kit 70hp shot
toda header
dc catback
hondata kpro
http://www.hondata.com/dynok20a2superchargednos.html

but much more than 300whp go with a turbo...even if your not wanting alot of hp you can go with a turbo but depending on what you like more low end or mid to top end power....altough if you properly match the turbo and get a smaller turbo (like a gt25 ball bearing) turbo lag will be minimal

He called himself a noob in the title, which is why I said he was a self proclaimed noob.


And I don't really follow turbos that much anymore either. I couldn't even tell you if and when the Guardian is better than the K-Pro. I used to know that.

My not knowing the brands or not is slightly irrelevant because my point still stands. I'm not looking at turbocharging my RSX.
If you're new to cars and stuff, going turbo right away isn't the best idea (do lots of research because aftermarket turbos decrease reliability no matter how well made), especially a very powerful kit.
