2 saab smic's welded together from junkyard: $40 for both
eclipse BOV: $25
3" downpipe: $50 for manderel bends and $20 for flanges.
eclipse 450cc injectors: $50
manderel bent charge pipes: $40
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grand total: $405
I then later upgraded to a deltagate wastegate and turbo XS blow off valve for some bling. which raises the cost to about $600
lets make this a fair race, you get a stock teg, put $600 into it then race me with it. I'll even run low boost for you
You can prolly get a catback and an ebay intake for $600 
Better make sure you get 1 of those front mount CAI's

BwahahahahhahahaYeah, i guess you're right. Why prep your car for more power with full suspension for better handling?
And better handling does not only apply to auto x, smart guy. Hmm...but suspension..thats just silly! God what idiots thought up the idea for balance!? FYI-Hondas/Acuras show their main weakness in their factory suspension. And assuming you drive this "beast" on the street, I am sure that you would like to not shorten your life due to racing a poorly balanced vehicle.
Maybe you should research adding full suspension to your car, kiddo. (?) I got a good laugh from this thread. thanx.

spend your money where you wish, I prioritize power over handling but thats me.

Its an upgrade from my 25mm oem external gate. There is nothing wrong with my setup? I dont see why you guys think its funny? Perhaps you are crying on the inside from wasting $3g's on a turbo kit? If for some reason my turbo does die, t3 rebuilt kits are only $75-100. I'm surprised you didnt ask about my fuel management, you would really get a laugh out of it

Its a standalone system similar to hondata called Uberdata, guess who the author is
Full control over fuel and timing.
http://vertigo.webhostme.com/Uberdata.zip
be sure to extract all of the files in the zip or the program wont run/crash.
Plz list all of the components in your "respectable" $1500 turbo kit plz.
Joseph and I are part of a honda ecu hacking group, we hacked the stock honda ecu and added new features including boost support amoung other things. So yah, we > you.

However, I am in the process of building a car one step at a time to ensure it will be reliable. Reliable, not only to me as my daily driver (for now) but also in producing high horsepower. Building a lil race car is not good just to get one bang out of it. Building it the right way is respectable and establishes a level of higher thinking - beyond the box. I suggest thinking about what your saying, man. You are a little bass ackwards. Power and handling kinda go hand in hand.
