no such thing as a good nonexspensive turbo setup new anyhow. But i know if you list out your power range, vechical its going into, money you have someone will be able to think of something for you.

on 5 pounds of boost there is absolutely no reason to need a custom turbo... unless you want somebody to make you one even smaller then a T-25 off the 1995-1999 turbocharged Talons & Eclipses.

2500 doesn't get you very far with a turbo setup. Its gonna be made up of some pretty crappy parts! :(

3500 will definatly get you closer to having a decient turbo kit with a new turbo and some decient parts.

2500 is more than enough to have a decent, reliable turbo for your Civic.

Keep the boost low (5psi is fun enough) and a cheapo extra injector mod (there's a few sites, do a search). You can get a turbo Manifold for around 250 + used T25/ 14G for around 200 and you still have A TON of cash left over.

The old saying of 'speed costs money, how fast do you want to go' doesn't apply anymore unless you want to go REAL fast.

With the internet, ebay, junkyards, FREE info (old days it was expensive learning to fast) you have it easy!

You can pay someone else 3G's for an OK turbo, or you can DIY for 1G and be MUCH better off.

Don't buy the hype. The only thing I would be worried about is fuel on your H22.
