    Honestly i think you'd have a lot of issue with boosting your auto, but who am I to say anything about having issues. I'm a pro there. Lol.

    I say go for a low whp goal of maybe 300-330whp and you'd be able to ride around like that for some time.

    Hey, you made it! As of what I've seen for auto civics in the past, nothing more than 5-6psi. It would be cheaper than most of our kits, as you would have a smaller (I always suggest ball-bearing) turbo and a log manifold. The rest is just a downpipe/exhaust, injectors, tuning software (I believe they make Flashpro for accords), walbro 255lph fuel pump (swaps out with oem one), intercooler and piping, blow off valve, and a few misc things. You'll love it

    Why would you want airbags in the seats still?

    Safety, and probably so there's no srs/airbag light on the dash. Just because you live on the edge doesn't mean us bionic people should too
