Hmm not to sure about 7th gen for tuning. You can get a whole kit online. I take it that you plan on keeping stock motor. You will need to all the basics. I dont suggest going all ebay especially turbo wise unless its a non ebay brand on ebay. With stock motor shoukd not boost more than 10psi

eBay is fine for charge piping and intercooler. That's it. Nothing else.

Source your turbo from Precision, GReddy, Turbonetcis, or even a stock DSM turbo. Wastegate can be any major (see: GOOD) brand, so long as the bolt pattern to your manifold is the same. Manifold, that will be the tricky part. I don't even know what motor sits in that chassis.. I think it's an obscure D series or something. I don't know of anyone that makes a manifold or anything for it, so you may have to have it fabbed. Now that I think about it, charge piping might be a b***h, too... Other than that, any blow off valve will work. Fuel injectors and fuel pump would be another problem. There isn't a lot of aftermarket support for EM2's/7th Gens, so sourcing this stuff is not gonna be fun. Lastly, your tune. I have no clue how you'd tune this thing. Maybe a K-pro, but I don't think it's a K series, so that won't work. Maybe Hondata, if they make a ROM/ECU for it?

Well Boosting the D17 is ALOT different than any other D-Series... I've been boosted for about 3 almost 4 years now. And I can tell u every step u need... But its not cheap, But if u love ur car, U will be happy in the end!! But it all depends on what your looking to get out of the engine, on how u need to build everything.... U want a drag car, a quick daily driver, or just something with a little extra UMMMFFF???
