Total price of Boostin your car.

[-hotdog]

Alright,
99 Civic with D16Y8
Dont wanna do an engine swap so dont mention i can do it for cheaper. i wanna boost it.
I wondering what else i need outside of a kit (we'll say DRAG Turbo kit) im going to need and how much it normally runs. Im new to turbos and dont know what i need to have it fully completed. I dont want to end up spending a bunch of money on stuff i dont need, or not spending money on stuff i do need.
The car is STILL a daily driver.
Thanks in advance

My advice...Do your research and build your own kit. I built my own kit for about 1300 and thats with the tune. Do read up a lot on how things work..what your goals for the car are and base your build off that. A kit cost AT LEAST double that price and if i remember right the drag kit runs about 3-4k?

you dont buy the home made kit from a store. get a dsm turbo BOV, hf mani, stealthmode oil line kit, charge pipes. ebay ic, bmc hf mani turbo adapter plate, xenocron chipped ecu, chrome and enjoy.

The search button is going to be your best friend...............

Go to the "post your turbo setup" secction and go thru that to kind of find out what you need. You can build your own kit from here and there or if you don't want to bother looking for parts and you have the money you can get a greddy or turbonetics kit for a good price, it's up to you.

...........and it all comes down to the tunner for a very reliable turbo setup.
