If you have the money and someone who knows how to tune with it go for it.

Seems like u eded up in the right forum with a wrong car :D.

Well, when u buy a turbo, u do know u have to do a lot more on ur car right? I am sure u know, but just let me jot something down for ya.

Rebuild ur engine (no questions asked, just do it)

Lower compression (8.0:1 preffered) with forged pistons

Find a way to mount ur intercooler (use a civic radiator to adapt to yours).

Oil taping lines. u can either tap the oil for ur turbo using ur existing oil line like this http://www.homemadeturbo.com/mini2.html.

read their website and contact them if they know about ur engine. I emailed Jeff Frank from home made turbo, but he did not have a clue about our A20 motor. Good luck bro

PS: also, get a lighter flywheel and a stronger crankshaft if ur going hardcore.

a good rebuild with forged pistons at least. then toos the motec idea get a eprom burner and get som software. im working on adapting gm ecms to honda accords and im pretty close to finished. not to hard. i still have to work out the VSS issue but other than that its all looking pretty good so far.
