        I only listed a fraction of the turbos out there, but they are the ones you see the most on most applications.

        Check out Cheapturbo.com they have LOTS of turbos you can pick through and of course, Honda-Tech.com

        I might update this thread with different graphs of different cars so you can really see what they make

        You forgot InlinePro, Neukin, AFI, Lovefab, SLS, and Peakboost when it comes to turbo honda manifolds!! I know they're plenty more but those are the basics.

        You'd be suprised how much power you can make on 4x 1000cc injectors... even at under 100% duty cycle... but I understand your numbers are averages. =D

        JWT and CalumSult are good options for Nissan tuning. Megasquirt is big amongst certain DSM crowds as well, mainly the boosted 2gnt guys.

        Its a waste of your time and money because you don't have either... will someone please tell him how much time and money this will cost him....tune, install, buying the right kit not an EBAY one like he's looking at getting, ecu tuning, and other crap..
