but your so stupid i don't think you have the ability to dress yourself in the morning let alone build a turbo setup

if you wanna turbo your civic buy one of his kits, (don't be cheap get the $950 one with the chipped ecu and basemap)
and get it tuned (and get dsm 450's) and then as the need (or want) for more power arises build off of the kit

you don't build a car from the ground up to have somthing different you buy one and modify it

hahah 12-25psi 25psi on a civic and it would barely move you need twin holset hx35's running 35psi each (2 turbo's=2 times the power!)

If i were you id go ahead and just buy the kit, like everyone is telling you. Piecing one together for your first time without doing the tons of research you really should do (even if buying a kit) is just a recipe for disaster....read some stickies do some research...if you plan on running the boost that you want, to a built motor is really what your looking for. Do some research on your motor internals their limitations etc and chose your turbo size and wstegate setting accordingly. Finally don't cheap out on the tunning it will be your biggest mistake.
