hahaha, this thread is great. Either your car is a straight lemon, which I doubt, or you SHOULD get a metro. maybe a neon.

You will have many more probs after boosting. I have like 5 probs I cant work out and Ive been boosted for only a few weeks. I have 93,000 miles, and its running great though. Idle sucks, and my ICU is resetting every time I turn the car on.

I think it is a lot better to turbo a car w/ high mileage. Your seals and everything is broken in and set much better, IMO.

I whooped on a 7thgen coupe 2 days ago, they said step on it like 5 times, and I kept saying no. Eventually I said fine, and had a bout 30 cars on em (at 9psi). A couple light before they tried to race, and I stepped on it a little, and they whooped on me, my clutch is slipping like hell. They were like, what do you have done, Im totally stock. I told them and they thought they were cool as F. They kept saying race, race. Than I let em have it, slowed down, waited like 2 minutes for them to catch up, lol, and was like whats up now biyatch. They were like, "Whoa, thats fast" hahaha, punk as* bi**hes.

haha.. jeeeese man

it really depends on what products you have with your turbo kit... if i were you i'd get a compression and leakdown test done to see what kinda cond. your engine is in first.. its obviously been ''broken in well'' ... if thats all good, and you use good parts for your kit then it can last awhile...

you sound like you need quite a bit of research on boosting. read the Turbo FAQ.

not happening... not happening at all... i got a 2003 civic EX coupe.. ive raced a Scion tC automatic which are still pretty fast in the auto transmition... first gear was head to head.. second hear had a car.. 3rd gear.. pulled 2 cars.. 4th gear he quit... that was a tC
when i raced the GSR.. it was the same exact thing.. but with him beating me.. and i got intake and catback.. if i had headers.. those 5 extra hp woulnt have helped much to beat the GSR IMO.. my turbo kits coming in tomrow finally.. cant wait to surprise him this time
