    If you haven't done anything for fuel, your fuel pump can't keep up the pressure and you will run out of pressure very quickly. You need whats called an FMU (Fuel Mangament Unit) and vortec makes one of them. Get eather a 12:1 or a 8:1 (Rases X psi fuel for every 1 pound of boost).

    I don't see how a turbo would lower gas milage... when you increse the VE things just get better.

    Turbos don't really hurt your MPG because it works just like a N/A motor, until you hit boost, than your using more gas, but when your crusing, your not in boost so in that case, its running just like your car normaly does. My dad drives 70 miles around trip every day so to us, its a big thing to get good MPG.

    THe one problem stopping many people from turboing the 3g is the lack of a ready made manifold. Justin, 88 turboaccord, had to have his own made. It's also my only problem. I got everything else.

    Where did you get it, or failing that, did it come from another car?
