in order to "properly" boost a car, a lot more than just a turbo kit is needed.
a lot of people just slap a turbo on and call it good. on my old civic waaayyy back in the day i had a gsr motor with stand alone fuel management, upgraded ignition system, stage 2 clutch and flywheel, bigger injectors, a chip from someone who claimed it would help the car run smoother with boost (which it did thank GOD). All of this was on stock internals at stock compression with 9 lbs of boost. The car's current owner tells me it's still running strong.

bottom line, fuel management and a clutch were my two priorities. anymore boost and i would have rebuilt the motor and lowered the compression
