you wll not pass smog with a turbo.. the Visual test, because u hav altered the smog componnts on the car. In California if u ad a turbo to a car that didn't have it OEM it considered a off road use only never to be used for public streets.. Most legit placeswill turn u down. I know people with custom turbos on their integs.. on pays a grip under the table to smog it. The other one takes it off ever 2 year for smog.. the last one has a greddy with a CARB sticker. so he never gets hassled for it.
Unfortunately the kits for accords are not approved. So people in Cali find alternate means of getting it smoged...
2750 is what i've seen the F-max go for in group buy a couple months back... it may cost more or less.. only turn i've seen on a accord was a custom job and it came close to that price too.. Do ur homework first...
i've heard of peope making custom turbos off of junked cars and modifying to their accords for around a grand.. there is even directions on ebay for custom turbo instructions for hondas..
Turbos isn't a bolt on mod.. ureally need to know what ur doing.. Go to custom shops( ie, machine shops, performance shops, hell toyota/subaru clubs have alot of info about turbos).. talk to people..
