Not to burst anyones bubble here, but I have an interesting story about a bolt-on turbo kit. My friend had a brand new Integra GS-R. He purchased one of those bolt-on turbo kits when the car had like 400 miles on it. Well, to make a long story short, he ended up blowing the motor because of a faulty wastegate (so he says). He then returned it to original and took the car to the dealership. The dealer inspected it and told him to take a hike. They new within a few seconds that he had a turbo kit installed. I am guessing they did a bore-scope on it, and saw that the pistons were anililated. I have always been of the opinion that you should never turbo an engine that wasn't engineered for turbos. Especially a new car that costs A LOT of money. Just my .02 cents.....
