Turbo Kit Self install or not?
Turbo Kit Self Install... or not?
I've posted a few times about different turbo setups for my 2000 Hybrid B18C1 Coupe, and I think I've narrowed it down to two choices (take in mind, they won't be on for a long time), either FMAX or Rev Hard. But in any case, I was wondering... how many of you who have a turbo setup did the install on your own... was it a kit and if so, was it an easy install? I was debating wether or not to just take it somewhere to get installed, but I could save like $750-1,000 by doing the install on my own and not boosting to the shop where I could get it tuned for like $150. Opinions?

Athough i dont' have a turbo...I would think it's easier to install a turbo then an engine..but yeah..if you have no confidence in doing it yourself professional help is best..don't wanna mess up an turbo and the precious car..

One more question... I don't know for sure if FMAX makes a specific Hybrid Civic kit, but I know that rev hard does. If I go FMAX, think it's possible to just get the custom piping somewhere.. or in that case would I have to get the turbo installed for me so tat my tuner can custom fabricate the piping for the kit? Or does this simply tell me to go with the revhard kit?
