Get a new boyfriend.


What turbo did you buy and what year car do you have? That should help start you off.

In true honda fashion, the ebay turbo kit...smh


That kit will work but the parts are extremely cheap and may not function correctly or for very long. If you want cheap performance i would go with a supercharger kit from a member off of here, they are much easier to deal with and they can make more power than your motor will support.

For tuning youre limited to trifecta tuning only unless you plan on going stand alone which it doesnt seem like thats for you.

Yeah you should probably ask someone who knows what theyre doing/talking about. $450 for a whole kit should have screamed cheap to you

to tune it youll have to fill out this page

http://www.wot-tuning.com/forums/ind...n=store&do=add

theyll send you a box that youll use to log the car after the turbo kit is installed in order to get it tuned. i havent heard of anyone using an ebay kit on a balt, or on any car really.

like everyone else said, i recommend that you check out some supercharger kits and wait for one to pop up on the classifieds. itll be a good deal of money to get your car force inducted and i recommend you read a good deal prior to buying anything else. expect to spend at least 2 grand to get it all done right. even if you are installing it yourself.

all i can say is good luck. youll need a wideband as well. not totally sure if vince over at trifecta needs this, but im sure you will need one to tune it

I'd return that eBay kit if its not too late, and eat the shipping expenses. Otherwise, re-list it

Your best bet really is getting a M62 supercharger + aux. parts off an LSJ cobalt. It will bolt right up.

I'm not even sure if Trifecta can or will tune for that fleabay kit. If they can't, then you're really outta luck.
