I agree with the tuning that everyone is hitting home, but heat is the biggest menace to turbos, so my tip would be a decent turbo timer. Remote start that works with the timer will make life easiest. ;)

You know, I've been thinking about that.. Turbo timers are used to let the turbo cool down with fresh oil flowing through it after the car is stopped right? But I'm thinking why can't you just use your cooling fans to cool the turbo? Like 5-10 mins to your destination, turn on your AC, which turns on your fans and just drive it in easy? I don't know about Civics, but on my Accord there's 2 fans and they're right in front of the turbo. It could also work for you guys who removed your AC, without the power rob of the compressor. What do you guys think?
