I Have a 2000 SI and I want to turbo charge it I was thinking abot either a rev hard, drag or garrett turbo, which one is best for my car and is it okay to run 8psi on stock interanls or should I port and polish and get a new camshaft? Any feedback would be helpful.

um.. i would suggest getting the Drag turbo kit.... the t04/t3 Ball bearing turbo... i think you should sleeve or buy a dart block to make sure... hope i helped..

a b16a will be fine running that lil boost stock as long as your motor is in good shape. for 8psi spending 2g on a dart block is a waste. P&P would help just as well so if you can swing it get it. I don't think new cams would help you at all at such low boost but if you up the boost skunk2 crower crane all make turbo cams.

Good god why do people like you try and give advice to people when they're totally clueless? The ballbearing option on turbonetics turbos is another 600 dollars, which is a waste of money. So is sleeving, and for sure so is a dart block when she wants to run 8 pounds of boost on a stock motor Maybe she should run 22 psi with a dart block so she can run high 12's like you're going to Get a maxrev kit with hondata from wired speedlab, 800-947-3380 ask for kyle. Bolt it on, get the hondata tuned, and go.

I'll be making close to 300whp on a stock b16a block as soon as I fix my wastegate prolems. Of course, I do have a project on the motor stand in my garage shooting for 400+ whp.

Thanks for the help. I will be going with the fmax turbo kit becuase its the most complete, and they said it will give 250hp at 8psi
