oh wow, i'll save you from getting flamed even further. SEARCH. i just got a sc kit, and i did some searching. there is tons of info and to sum it all up is tough.

there;s just too many other questions, like what your goal is with the car, like if you wanna make it a fun dd, or a track car, a drift car, autox, whatever.

this should answer most of your questions,

oh and if you're not ready to spend ~8k, dont bother with fi. cause otherwise you wont do it right, unless you have some hook ups / and or a lotta knowledge about how to do it yourself.

I'm am far from an expert about F/I, but it's my understanding that a good bit of other work to your motor should be done when adding a turbo/supercharger, making it a good bit more expensive that it looks.

if you are running a stock 8 psi, you dont HAVE to run stronger internals. i would recommend a stage 1 tranny atleast, but always, to be on the safe side it's something you SHOULD do. did I do it? Nope. just clutch. but when you start making over 400 whp, i would start worrying about the internals.

imo keep it stock or buy another car to mod.....this is not a cheap car to mod......enjoy it stock cause if u mod it u'll ruin it imo. but like he said if u wana spend sum big bucks then go all out by building the engine and all that good stuff+ depends on wat u doing it for. but for DD u should stay stock cause there is no point of doing it.

Plenty of people but down big numbers with F/I and daily drive those cars. There's no reason not to if it's done right.

thanks everyone, I was very interested in putting in an APS single turbo kit in that comes with all the fuel accessories needed and intercooler...definately a really good choice to look into if anyone is interested in F/I. I went to a shop down here in savanna,ga that tought me a bunch about it. was going to do other mods but not going into that yet....but yes they are expensive, the quote I got to do everything right plus a new clutch and flywheel was about 10,000! dont have that money right now but definately something worth saving up for

my buddy has a rsx type s which he built the motor on and turbo'd it to 500 fwhp. This is his daily driver and he walks on the new V10 M5 like it was a civic. He also did a road trip from LA to San Fran and back with zero problems.

Boosting your DD isnt a bad idea if you do it right.

if your running 8 psi or less id say stock internals are fine, after that I would build the engine.

well ya but u have to spend sum hard cash to get those numbers. u might as well get a different car with more power......im not saying that it would b nice to have the extra power but its just a matter of ur budget.
