either one its all in one package its depends on your internal engine built to get the HP you want. there are small turbo you can go with but they are not reliable and they give you only about 100 hp and cost more then a supercharger when a supercharger will get you jsut about the same hp heres a link

trust me man theres way better ways to spend your money on that. ive been working in the auto industry for 4 years now and have done plenty of tubro swaps. small turbos? what are you trying to do make it a dyno queen or actualy track this car. if track you would proly want to go with a TT sequencial setup. or you can be like the evos and have a over sized turbo that takes forever and a day to spool.

its all about company you buy from and what type of turbo you get.

15k for a turbo kit. where the F are you getting it from. garret turbos are cheap but realiable. if your going HKS or something then yea i can maybe see it costing that much but i doubt it.
Fine then. I would something older anyway.............I wish I could have my dad's old 65 Plymoth......It already has a bad ass engin and all kind of up grades. it's just it need more work done to it.........I guess i'll just stick with working on My truck.......

i cant realy help you becasue i dont know what type of driver you are or what the goals are for your car. in other words what im asking is: 1. do you like to drive your engine in the power band alot. (racing or just like to put the pedal to the metal) 2. what hp/tq you are looking for (track junnkie or dyno queen) 3. what state do you live in (laws and what not) 4. do you have upgraded fuel managment/delivery? oh yea and 4. does the turbos and everything have to be made i the USA or can it come from Japan. dangit forgot another one. 5. are you willing to do the work yourself or will you fork your car over to a shop to do it.

if the answer to 5 is fork it over then yea i can see it getting pricey so then il just shut my mouth about $ lol

any companys you prefer?

doesnt matter what company or where its made. its getting the parts to fit on the car thats cost $ cause you have to custom make them no one out there sells turbo parts for the car but a selective few its like putting a turbo kit on a ferrari not many company makes kits for that car same goes with the nsx's i could get 2 gerret t26 turbo for a hp of 450 hp and still be paying over 8k for the parts and set up. like i said turbo for the NSX is more custom tailored then just buying it off the shelf. you can go here and read for yourself

ok well still back to the basics. are you going to be doing the work yourself? if you are then all that pipeing and modifying will be cheaper than buying a kit. if thats not your style then go ahead and buy the turbos or supercharger. imo the NSX should be kept at its NA state but like they say. "different stroke for different folk."

still a decent lookin ride man love the black. suites the NSX well
