Search the net for it. All you really need is an adapter plate from your exhaust manifold to whatever turbo you'll be using. (in reply to accords own) Post #: 3

I heard about a guy, Logan, who turbo'd his 7th gen v6. It costs roughly around 5.5k-6k with custom work.  _____________________________ 02 AV6 Sedan Apexi WS2 exhaust DC Ceramic Headers AEM sri GroundControl sleeves Koni yellows Progress Sway Bar (24mm 0_0) JVC Headunit Power Acoustik headscreen 18'' Drag Dr-8 (in reply to BlkCurrantKord) Post #: 4

Here's the problem w/ that - There is no intercooler piping, no oil lines, BOV, wastegate, plus whatever else. Also, if its on ebay, it is not usually a "good" brand. Those pics aren't from the seller, they're from a member of V6P that bought their kit and then customized it to actually fit and work. It's not a bad place to start but its hardly what one would call a complete or good kit. (in reply to steviebix) Post #: 10

But in the description it says wastegate and BOV is included... how hard is it to get the intercooler and turbo fitted? And how do you get it Tuned? you don't have to do it when you put CAI, but why do it for turbo? Can you keep stock exhaust with the turbo? (in reply to BlkCurrantKord) Post #: 11

So air goes through turbo, heats up a little, forced into intercooler, cools down a little, then go into the engine through throttle body? but in those pictures, there is no intercooler piping. wouldn't turbo w/o intercooler heat up too much? And thank you for the answer about the a/f ratio tuning. so turbo gives boost once you put on and you get it tuned only to make it work the best? -mike. (in reply to falkore24) Post #: 13

What you said about the filter location is correct, but not necessary.  Motorcycle turbos usually have the filter right on the turbo. (in reply to Mikes Machine) Post #: 14
