I need some help, any type of help would be nice, and yes before someone come's in here and tells me to do a search i tried. I'd like specific answere's to the make if the car.
After a long drawn process i might decide to do a custom turbo setup instead of buyin a greddy 18g turbo. The only problem is i would have no clue on what piping to use. i mean i know 2.5 but i don't know what degrees i need like 180' 90' 45' etc.. how many i need, how to configure them together etc. I tried doing a search on factory turbo kits but they never list the piping that comes in the kit, they always state All piping and accessories needed comes with this kit. So basically for a 92-95Ex civic what specific piping would i need for my turbo and intercooler? and the width like 2.25', 2.5', 2.75', 3' etc. Thanks a lot ahead of time fellow AF'ers.
Oh and on a sidenote how exactly does Dynotuning work? Cause maxspeed said i would benefit tremedously after the turbo, i would ask him but i figure i'd give him a break cause i've asked him plenty of questions already lol. So do you just go to a shop and get the tuning done yourself? Or do you just go to the shop pay about 150 and hour and a employee does the tuning for you?

piping can be found for sale on ebay sometimes if you look... for the most part though piping can be a bit different from one to another depending on what you have going for an intercooler, turbo, etc... i saw one slightly ghetto rigged deal where a guy used a CAI for part of the piping... I dunno it wasnt half bad the worst was how the blow off valve was attached to it. i know there is a muffler shop right here around me who will custom bend piping to fit your needs (I watched them do it to another car while I waited for my exhaust to be fixed. that probably is not the most ideal solution but it worked for the guy
as for tuning... what maxspeed meant was when you turbo a motor you need to be sure that the right amount of fuel is going into the motor to match the air, adjust timing to make sure you don't have any knock, etc... this is best done at a shop that has a dyno and the appropriate equipment to monitor the engine and YES, it is important!
