$249 for a turbo, manifold, and wastegate...not to mention all of the flanges and everything.
How can you expect those to be quality parts?? I nearly paid that for my wastegate alone!! Then tack on another $1000 for the manifold, dp and dump....and another $700 for the turbo. Just to put it in perspective....

yup, my 6th gen civic crx put down 621 whp on the stock b20 block on one of them. I was running 12 psi on the street and getting 490 horses but i wrecked it when the e-brake handle came flying off mid-burnout.
