Ebay is the best place. Im picking one up for 600 bucks and it includes everything I need, and is brand new.

let me no how it turns out

dont buy any turbos off ebay, ive read nothing but bad things. they are all china rip offs. get your turbo from a junk yard. there are so many turbo forums....
www.pgmfi.org
www.d-series.org
www.honda-tech.com

check out the forced induction forums there and read read read there is a lot to learn.

PS, if you do it right you will SMOKE stock 5L's

please save yourself the headache and don't buy ebay turbo kits (ssautochrome, etc.). they will just frustrate you.if your gonna go turbo on your d series then build your own kit. you can find quality parts for a decent price on ebay from an actual company in the us. not china. main thing is to try and be resource ful and buy parts that fit what you need. you don't need a 700 dollar turbo manifold when you can buy a hf manifold for 20-40 bucks. your probably not gonna be running more than 10-15 psi so you'll be fine.

how do i post a message im new here

ya gotta start a new thread in what ever section you need to.

Wow, let me guess, you bought an XS Autochrome turbo? Good luck with that POS.

You really should do some research if you are planning on going with forced induction. Not buying the first deal you come across.

i didn't buy one. it was the noob.

yeah i agree with most here..steer clear of SS..theres been countless ppl on this forum over the yrs that ran into all kinds of issues with those systems..u get what u pay for right? $600 could really piece u together a decent junkyard turbo..if ur not too familiar with turbos and wear n tear dont just snag the first turbo u see..most of the time there is major shaft play and all burnt up in the yards.. checkout www.homemadeturbo.com
