#116989 no need for two threads.... rock out your setup for a little while. if you just bought a V2 and DC header those wont work for turbo so..


should delete the NEED HELP thread in general...

#117017 You already have bought nice N/A Parts. Some Parts that wont work with a Boosted Setup. I would Recommend type-R Cams and if you want some power some Nitrous. If you go down this path you will need to tune your engine, Tuning OBD2 isn't that cheap(neptune or hondata). If you converted to OBD1 Check out Uberdata. Its a good cheaper solution. Most Tuners wont Recommend Crome.

A Decent We Nitrous kit will run 400-500 bucks on eBay. You can get some as low as 300 though. When Running a Wet kit you can tune your nitrous with your Nitrous jets. I talked about how in our nitrous thread while back.

I would Nitrous before Boosting anyday. b16's have enough power for spriited Daily Driving. When I wanna Race I can run my Nitrous. That will save you wear and tear on your engine in the long run.
