they speak the truth. read a lot, throw that safc in the trash, and then read some more. pretty much everything you need to turbo a honda is in the stickies

there is every aspect of the honda world available here on this forum, as registered members. tuning, transmissions, turbos, wiring, fabrication, and some amazing welders. if hmt can't answer your question, then noone can.

for a basic answer, there is no such thing as a budget turbo kit. they take alot of money if the motor if you expect it to last longer than 3 months... this is HMT, not BMT.

for example, things you need...

turbo
mani
down pipe
charge pipes
connectors for charge pipes
computer/ tuning
injectors

thats just a very very minor list as to what you will need and in what i listed i have over 1K


search, do it right the first time! good luck

you can turbo a car for less than 1k easy i have ~500 in my setup and all i plan on buying is a fmic to replace the smic.
if you look in the right places you can find good deals
i got
manifold, turbo, downpipe, bov, misc pipes and connectors,mbc, smic, and oil lines for 200
450 injectors and a chipped ecu with a zif socket for 160
boost and a/f gauge 40
battery relocation stuff 50
misc hoses 30
thats only 480 right there
so 1k is not a buget build

SAFC works well on MAF sensor cars (DSMs mostly). On cars that use MAP sensors (all hondas), they suck *****. $25 chip from xenocron own will run your car better than having it tuned with safc. Throw it away or put it in another DSM.
