7-9lbs is pretty conservative, and with correct components, quite reliable i hear...

so is $1000 an unrealistic figure for a complete turbo set up? I suppose it most likely is. Most nice set ups seem to run in the $2k+ range. Im not gonna be doing it all at once tho, i'm gonna be buying the parts little by little, then have the labor done by someone.

Alright, so i think its official guys. I'm jus gonna turbo my teggy... I've been reading up on it on honda-tech and it looks like alot of guys are pullin some pretty impressive numbers. I would like to do a mild build on the motor first, nothing excessive. I'm going to be slowly purchasing each part until i have a complete set up.. rangcrx, do you do turbo installs?
