a turbo isn't going to be cheap nor easy. turbo's are easy to fit on foxbody's yea....... when you have a sbf. there's no more room in the engine bay than a 96-04 if you have a mod motor, hell i'd venture to say there would be less. more power...... o hell yes.

They however do know turbos, its mainly an import shop but there is a turboed scion in there, an STi, numerous civics, even a guy from MA sent his car down there to be built. They boast a 7xxwhp civic hatch that went 10.3s (manual?) and there building another thats supposed to break 800. So depending on a what this guy means by cheap i might pull the trigger, i guess it really depends on if my brother gets a promotion, he said he'd buy me the turbo itself lol.

btw did you ask me if i would sell my cams on SVTP?
yes i did

Damn, that's a whole new bag of fun when you're building a tube chassis car.
