I JUST BOUGHT A DX COUPE 2001. I NEED SOME TIPS TO START OFF. I WAS THINKING OF TURBO KIT OR SHOULD I DO OTHER UPGRADES INSTEAD FOR MORE HP ? WHAT KITS ARE GOOD? OR WHAT UPGRADES SHOULD I DO FIRST

ok slow down...if your interested in using a decent amount of boost (10 lbs+) theres much to do before installing a good turbo. Start with your intake and exhaust, i dont know how much money you have but get yourself a cold air intake and headers to start. i would build the block(crank, pistons, ect.) before you go all out with the turbo. a couple other things to look into are cams, cam gears, throttle body, fuel rail, underdrive pully kits, lightweight flywheel, short shift, strong clutch setup, gear sycros. just about any of the above will help with throttle response and/or hp and torque. personaly, i would do all of the above before i boosted it, but thats just me, id hate to spend 2 grand on a turbo and intercooler and have my motor blown because it couldnt handle it.
