Just wondering if anyone knows a really good website that shows step-by-step turbo install...into a civic if possible.

Its a kit I bought from a guy, its pieced together, I have a Garrett t3/t4, all the piping, IC, Tial Wastegate, Turbo XS BOV. I really just need to figure out how to do all the Oil supply and return, and all the vacuum sources.

If you have specific questions, I'm sure we can give you a hand, too.
 my experience is Greddy, but rigging up the oil lines and vacuum lines are not greatly dependent on what type of turbo you have.

I have a 99 Si....Right now I have one of the AEM V2's on it, and some GReddy headers...and it does alright...But I love the sound of the turbo...couldnt get over it, so I got one. Im hopefully gonna be installing it this week or this next weekend..im still making sure I have everything, so I dont have to have my car sittin in a garage for a week.

plan on being out of commission for a few days - and no matter how much prep work you do, you will need a car to go get something at the store! so, have a friend on hand...and good luck!
let us know how it goes, and if you have any hickups along the way we'll try to help you out.

i had my car in the garage for a week...well i was waiting on parts to come in...but now i can install it in about 5 hours or so...def. have a friend or another car in hand as there will always be something that comes up...the hardest part and the part the i dread everytime is the oil feed...sucks trying to get under there and squeeze around...make sure you use teflon on everything! good luck
