    the best solution is leave all the pipes connected, but allow the waste gate to somehow vent 100% continuously. this will allow the turbo to not spool, and also allow you to drive the car normally.

    just watch out for very long hills that you happen to come across, your turbo might start to spool a tiny bit, but then at 1 psi i doubt anything will break.
    Thank you for explaining that bit of info to him. Reps.


    But back on topic, i say get a wideband, go to a jy and snag a injector box for free-10bucks and the clip for it, look it up how to wire them up. Then get a chipped ecu and a tune then ull be 100% set.

    Save ur engines!

    dont look in civics. none have them. U could find a fuel injected 86-89 accord and use the box off that, or a eclipse/talon could do the job too. google it to find out what ones are the best to use/easiest to wire up.
