A big risk for people like me would be keeping your speed down, but that's not really what your going for I think.

other then having a lead foot, and it being up to the driver to not be a moron at the wheel, any con that can be defined is easily removed through proper installation, tuning, and maintenance,
oh, and reduced gas mileage

the same basic maintainence as a car with a factory turbo, which is the same schedule as a car without one... just watch your fluid levels and belts/leaks and repair them as needed.... If you do a good install it's going to be fine except the extra gas cost..

As long as it is tuned right (your not putting in 12 psi on a stock motor) the accord makes a fine car to turbo.

It's also expensive to do. Just use good fluids and check them often and your car will be fine.

expensive... is not a factor... u want power u need to be able to afford it
maintenance... is just normal... keep it lubed and if theres any funny noises get it fixed and dont put the car under unneeded stress...
gas... no... anyway...

expensive may not be a factor, but it sure is a con!

Hey, I can't complain, I paid less than most people would to turbo.
