I just found some pricing info...

Drag gen III is about $3,000. From their website, it includes:

Super efficient and powerful Garrett T04/T3 turbocharger; 4 into 1 cast turbo manifold; Turbonetics Deltagate wastegate; Custom 2.5 inch down pipe; Wastegate dump tube; Larger efficient front mount intercooler; Chrome one piece intercooler and turbo piping; High flow performance fuel pump; Vortech boost dependent fuel pressure regulator; HKS Super Sequential blow-off valve; All necessary plumbing; MAP bypass valves; High flow intake filter and piping.

Some of the items in there are rather undesirable; for one, change out that deltagate for a tial.

The Greddy is in the neighborhood of $2,500 but it doesn't come with a front mount intercooler. If you do a search for Drag Gen III's I'm sure you can find more info. from the forced induction techs around here. Hope this helps for now.

The Drag kit is alright as a starting point.

To get it to run nicely, you'll want to ditch the rising-rate fuel pressure regulator. Get yourself a set of 440 cc/min fuel injectors and a Hondata ECU, have everything tuned and enjoy a much higher level of reliability.

The wastegate that comes in the kit is crap. A good manual boost controller will give you quicker spool times and a more stable maximum boost level.

The downpipe on the kit comes without a flange on it, you have to take it to a muffler shop to have one welded on to match whatever catalytic converter you decide to use. I would reccomend getting a Carsound 3" piece. You also want to have a 3" exhaust, Thermal R&D makes a nice one.

So.

Drag turbo kit - $3200
TurboXS manual boost controller - $75
Carsound 3" cat - $100
Thermal R&D 3" catback - $550

RC Engineering 440 cc/min saturated (high impedance) fuel injectors - $360
Hondata s100 w/ boost option - $445

Dyno tuning session - $200?

For that amount of cash what do you think i would run in the teg?

What you run in the teg would depend on what kind of tires you have, along with flywheel, clutch etc. I'd say somewhere in the 13's on street tires.

Eclipse, I have no clue. Frankly I would sell the thing.

The eclipse is not getting sold, to much of a personal value.

The integra you think would run 13's on slicks too or no, because i was thinking about buyin a turbo kit but now peoples sayin i should go with an SC for it but i dont want one of those...

Turbos sound so much cooler than a charger...

Know what i mean?
Hit my email if you wouldnt mind giving me a detailed writup of what i would need for the teg if you could...

This is all too vague man. There are way too many different ways to hit 13's. Think about how much work you want to put into the thing, what sort of driveability you want, how much money you're willing to spend....

Try and do some research, look around on various sites, read old threads here and also find tech info sites. Once you're read up on stuff you'll be able to make your own decision instead of me writing up some list for ya and you taking it to a shop. That never works well, because if you have a tuned car and don't know how it works it's just asking for trouble.

Understood and I did alot of research on my eclipse and I found out that after the turbo kit would still be rather hard to get into the 13's on the car without going internals.

Do you think that i can hit 13's in the integra on stock internals?

Yes, you shouldn't have much trouble getting it into the 13's with stock internals, but be sure to tune it well when you get into the higher boost ranges
