cool stereo mate. though I would hate to be a rear seat passenger  
You can put the turbo on, but I think the deal is that you will also need a stronger FWD gearbox very shortly after Yes a new computer and all is needed. Halfcuts can be good options, though a gt4 half-cut would give you the wrong gearbox. Perhaps you could pick up a 3sgte with loom + ecu and source a g-box from somewhere else.
You *can* put a GT4 scoop on your bonnet etc.. looks nice

(it is a home made kit)....thanks for the reply

Well i'm gonna have to say that it looks like u have gone too far with that body kit, but thats my opinion.
All the info u need to do the conversion is covered in these forums. I have done the 3sgte conversion myself. So all u have to do is look for the info and if there is something u can't find or don't understand just ask.

the body kit was on there when I bought the car...that was the main reason I bought it because of its originality...I am sick of seeing all these kids in honda civics and eclipse thinking there shit don't stink cause they have the same sooped up car as everyone else.. and everyone else can soop one up the same way... it isn't original..... I would say 3 out of 5 people do a double take on the car and some ask what it is and were did i get the kit... it's kinda funny

i got my scoop from a local company. SSV. www.ssv.com
Its the standard bonnet but it had a hole cut in it and the scoop put on top, so that the top mounted intercooler could do its job.
