you can't judge how many boost you're running by listening to it ... nor could you just how much boost you're running by "feeling" it ...
once again, I encourage you to run your car at the track when it starts getting warm out. I guarantee you that at 6-7 psi you're not gonna be seeing 13's
so $6000 CDN is a completely built engine and a complete turbo kit? my complete turbo kit will cost me bout 1500 when done all my stuff is brand new turbo, intercooler, bov, manifold, e-manage, wastegate, all the lines, piping will be custom when install...injectors will be used
install with wideband dyno tuning and custom down pipe, intercooler piping and whatever other piping will be $1000
so im 2500 cdn MAX (might be a bit less) in the whole with wideband tuning...
if you build your engine and get good tuning you can run more than 8-10 psi... wasn't some guy running 14 safely on his built d17?
6000 CDN just sounds way over priced man i dont think it'll cost anywhere near that much
how do you get all those parts for $1500 cdn? ... must have gotten it from someone who robbed someone ;P
the only safe 14 psi is from either a tuned motor or a built motor.

hahaha... nah, all legit.. i've been putting together my kit for a good 4-5 months now... just waiting, taking my time till i find good deals... patience is key
funny i never said at 6psi will i be running 13's nor 14's nor 15's nor 16 ect ect ect ect. where did i say that? find it and i will eat my own shit.
you sure as heck can feal the differnce between 3 psi and 10 psi ect ect hence they said im some where in between that probably at 5 or 6
all i have been trying to say is auto turboed d17> then a stock swaped k20
yup, you can feel a difference between 3 and 10.... only if you are comparing 3 psi with 10 psi ... but since you don't have a boost controller, you could be running anywhere between 3 and 10 psi.
ok, in that sense ... yes ... auto turbo d17 > stock swapped k20 .... but I've never heard of a stock k20 swap ... most people end up getting at least i/e/hondata ;P
im not cocky i just hate people like K20EQUIPPED that know nothing about a turbo on a d17 and keep saying swap is better its cheeper ect ect.
First of all I know enough not to Turbo an unbuilt D17...and 2nd I would have enough knowledge to get my engine tuned and make sure I know how much boost im running instead going on what someone says it "sounds and feels" like.
but that cost more cash. no matter what you do to your car turbo or swap there are little things that you dont think of that add up. and your never done well untill you are done. for a honda thats full engen build ect for a swap thats turbo then engen build. heck ya the turboed swap is gona stomp on any d17 and eat more for breakfast. but they have spent way more and could have just started on a better platform.

Will the cost of a K20 swap go down within the next few years? Or will there be some less expensive turbo kits out there? I just started college too, and I'm in no position to shell out all this cash now. I hate being slow
K20EQUIPPED damn i cant hate you no more man. that bmw is the one i was gona get and turbo it to bad its now my buy a house fund.
There is no hate here brother, just two people with two different views...
And BMW's are sick, my father has a 540i and the odd time Im blessed to drive it, it's better then sex.
