Im poor, need turbo!
ive read about a guy (Greg Leone) and he has a stock CRX motor and got a mitsubishi turbo from an eclipse or something...that makes me wonder, how many other possible turbo's are there to get that would be really inexpensive? i dont know that much about it and i dont wanna go spendin $3500 on a brand new turbo kit and fuck it up, i wanna get a "budget bomber" and see what i can do....is that stupid or smart? does it really matter what kinna turbo it is as long as the motor can handle the psi? i really dont know...
**EDIT** i forgot to mention that im getting some type of eclipse turbo next week from my uncle, so since ill have it, could i use it i guess the question is...

as long as you do it right. sometimes doing shit right requires $$$. i know because i'm getting a turbo for my LS, and it comes close to $3500, but hey that's $3500 well spent.

a: stole it
b: are not getting enough turbo to make your goals
c: are missing major parts
d: are blowing a dealer
just hondata is going to run you a good bit... you will have AT LEAST 800 tied up in a hondata... but it is WELL worth it!!! and that is NOT even touching the motor, turbo kit, or fuel... good luck with this kit man...

that was excluding Hondata, i'm still deciding on which module to get, i didn't want to factor it in till i knew. but in total, including hondata, i'm looking at close to 5k.
