Default my 1st kit

i officaly have started my parts search for my first turbo kit. heres what i am workin wtih. i got a 89crx si. with a b16a1 swap. im lookin to make a sleeper kit by using a side mount or a small front mount. hp goals are like 350 range tuned on hondata. i like to go with a straight t3 or a t3/t4 if i can get a good priced one. lookin to make boost alway to redline. lookin to spend like 1.5k up to 2k. anyone got any good set ups i should base mine off of. and i have read the newbe part bout turbos. thanks everyone

your probably gonna need to spend more than 1.5-2k and that sidemount isn't gonna be good at all for 350whp.

After all that reading you're still running hondata? You need uberdata. The money saved can go elsewhere since making 350 whp is going to cost more than 1.5-2k.

You should focus more on just building a kit to boost a little and get used to it first unless you have been boosted before and understamd turboing.For sure you will need a fmic,dont like it showing?paint it black or use a grill

you should read & learn and set realistic goals before you go talking about a 375hp turbo b16a with sidemount IC that cost you under 2k.

i been boosted before. just this is my frist build up myself building a kit. reason i didnt go d series is my crx was all ready had ls motor in it before i bought it. i alrdy had the b16 swap so i figure i put the b16 in. i dotn have it all wired up yet cuz i wanted to bring it out turbo. as for money wise i not cheap i just like to be smart shoper. n when u set a goal for as in spending 1.5k to 2k u know u are goign to go over. so i not worryed bout it cuz i not goign to buy crap parts. n 375 hp i dont think is a goal that is out of reach once build the motor to run high boost. even if i only get 250 at teh wheels out of this set up before build it up for high boost that be sweet cuz thats low 12s or 11s dependin on track tires etc. by end of summer it will defently be fully built with lots of boost
