exhaust or engine management? im poor so for right now its just stock exhaust and fmu, probably wont see any new toys until summer. as far as tools go a decent claw hammer and a dremel with 100's of bits are my favorites right now. lol

You are running a turbo with stock exhaust on an integra? Wow.

You put on a turbo with a stock exhaust system and no fuel management? I dont want to be mean, but thats gotta run terribly and is pretty dangerous. I would never just slap on a turbo and hope to play it safe till i had money. Id get the money first and then do the job right. Engines are expensive..hope you know what you're doing.

I didn't think that the stock exhaust on an integra had enough flow to create a feasible use for a turbo.

Haha, no crap. I figured since it was a kit all the fuel parts were included, and I just assumed exhaust work, but I guess we all know what assuming does. Jesus man, you seriously need to do something about that, I kid you not. To me thats like buying a body kit and installing it and leaving it primered. Sure it might be nice (I say that while cringing by the way as I'm not a fan of many body kits I see), but its a half assed job. I get asked by so many people about turbo setups and if they arent willing to go all the way like I want them to I refuse to help them at all. Doing things half way as Brian said isnt just about getting the most out of your setup, its about preventive measures to your car, and a restricted turbo on a high compression engine with minimal fuel isnt something to mess around with.

stock exhauist doesnt let it get over 5 psi plus i think the fmu is fine for now. most people say the stock compression with hondata can take 10 psi, so until i get more money this is the way the cars staying frankly i really dont car about the stock exhaust its not a priority. ive got dsm 450's and resistors all i need is an afc or hondata first along with a new clutch so its all in order of money and priority. as far as how it runs it runs great i couldnt be more happy with how this setups is going. i would never be able to afford to do it all at once.

don't listen to these guys....keep your stock exaust if you want. if you are running 5psi, its not creating much more back pressure anyway. some of the faster cars on this board are done with the bare minimum. right jeff taylor of oakridge circle small town usa?

people think its a want, i dont want the stock exhaust hell if i would get pulled over i wouldnt run an exhaust, just some people dont know we all dont have great incomes that we can dump all of our money into the car i wish i could but it doesnt work that way so if i dont have this or i dont have that its not that i dont know what im doing its that i dont have the cash.you cantr judge people by what they have there is rich people who dont know shit driving sweet cars cause they got money for other people to build them and theres people who could build a nice car but dont have the cash.
