    okay, so once i get those components, what kind of ecu tuning would i need. boost control? everything ive ever dealt wiht has been piggy backed off the ecu in an efi tuner of sorts. is this the same wiht a honda setup? i keep hearing about boosted setups using hondata?

    putting the pieces together isnt the hard part for me. i have snapon out the ass and a shop to do it all in. any technical things i need to worry about? problems? in everyones opionon, whats the hardest part of a turbo build

    i like to use crome, and i would get my base map from http://www.phearable.net/. they do really good base maps, but you have to get your ecu chipped. there are a few shop on ia that can do it, i know if you can get a hold of mainstream or scott they can chipped it and also very helpful with small thing. man to tell you the truth, the best thing to do it just turbo it yourself, your learn a lot, really to me the hardest part(s) are the oil pan and the oil feed line. if you look on honda-tech for some really good step by step d.i.y on how to turbo your car.

    also , if you are running a external and imternal waste gate they will more then likely give you like a 10 psi spring or something smaller or bigger, that will control how much boost your running. i have a god speed 38 mm wastegate and a 7 psi spring in it, and i never see above that. oh yea, i would go e-bay for your intercooler piping, they will send you clams, couplers and the bov with flange on the piping.

    this will help too with answering a few more of your question,
