Re: i got a turbo of question
i wouldn't recommend turbocharging a motor with that many miles on it.. it's just not safe, you'll blow it pretty quick if you try and push any psi through it.... maybe you'd be safe with 5 at max if you want your engine to last any amount of time.. maybe go for a swap first?

just for your information, there is a turbo forum in the honda/acura section with a lot of great info in it and some intellegent people to go with it, you might get some better answers in there.

Re: i got a turbo of question
130k miles isnt really alot for a honda
you should do a leak down check and compression test

Re: i got a turbo of question
First thing you need to do on your car is get a compression check. If all 4 cylinders are within normal ranges and holding pressure then there is no reason why you cant add a little boost in your life. Just make sure you do your research if you decide to "frankenstein" your kit. You will need a fuel system matched to what you have and would be an investment to get a lil dyno time to fix your power curves so you do not ping or detonate and risk spinning a rod or something bad like that
