    First thing you need to do is research as much as you can about boost. There is a lot more to it than slapping on a turbo, you need to know what injectors...fuel pump...has to be tuned...requires premium fuel...certain spark plugs... not to mention your motor needs to be running at 100% before you boost it. Just trying to give you a heads up, there is a lot to it, like I said RESEARCH.

    ive already had a b20vtec setup. b20b block, and a gsr head. it was somewhat built but i never ran it. and i wanna boost the sol just to give it more get up. not to have insane h.p but just to have a boosted, somewhat clean car.

    This thread is full of retards....

    We recommend 100hp> over stock, for reliability concerns, however there are some freak motors that I have seen make crazy power and never have issues...

    IE- 300+ hp stock LS motors
    270hp stock d16y7
    etc...

    10psi is not the same on every turbo.....


    Ask yourself

    Whats your budget
    Do you have funds incase something happens
    Whats your power Goals
