yeah i get ya for most of the stuff. Basically though, i just don't know what turbos are worth and if you could keep an eye out or suggest some to me that would awesome. Another thing is the turbo manifolds. Basically, only place i know to look is ebay. Any other sites would be apprecieated.

Management wise, i'd love to go hondata, but i don't know that much about it. Basically tehre's the s100 and the s200 right? And i think the s100 is uncustomizable and the s200 is customiziable but shitloads more expensive right? Not to mention i don't have huge ammounts of cash to spend on a stand alone system.

Basically that's why i wanted to do the missing link and the VAFC just to get it up and running, and then later on down the road (probably another month or two) i'd up the boost and probably get a set of DSM injectors and do the AFC hack. Also, i have a friend who is good at tuning the safc, and i'm sure i could pick it up quick too, but where the fuck would i even start to tune a hondata system?

another thing, why the vafc versus the safc? I thought the only basic difference is that the vafc allows me to change my vtec point, and if i don't have a cam then that is kind of useless is it not?

i've been to homemade turbo after looking through your pages, that's basically what inspired me, they got some awesome shit there. Another thing i forgot to mention, i'm 17, i've had 3 years of production metalworking in school ( welding, fabrication, use of shop tools), and my stepdad has a full garage, and he's building a shelby cobra (hehe, it's sick, 351 winsor, 497 bhp, 502 ft. lbs). So i'm pretty sure that if he can build a car from mostly scratch in that garage, that he will have the tools (welders, and other tools for custom fabrication) and knowledge to help me out.

another thing, i prefer an internally wastegated turbo, just to make things simpler, (ie: don't have to buy external wastegate and make extra piping for it)

so other than that, if you could give me some more ideas on where to find that turbo, with a decent manifold, and a downpipe/flange, then i will most likely give you road head.

just kidding, but the help is greatly apprecieated.
