im thinking about boosting my civic. (like everyone else i know) but theres no other way to get any kind of power to my little d16. is there anyone who has had any experience with making their own turbo setup on a honda engine that can give some advice? or would a prefab kit simply be better? im looking to raise the hp about 80-100. thanks in advance.

try looking around www.homemadeturbo.com (http://www.homemadeturbo.com) and www.turbod16.com (http://www.turbod16.com) I know for a faq there is a thread on turboD about which one is better and why (opinions of course).
