Build-It-Yourself 7th Turbo
Special Thanks to 04accordturbo over at accordtuner.com: http://board.accordtuner.com/showthread.php?t=30327
Check out his step-by-step installation guide: http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dhp7kzm8_0gtxqxz
* Later adds AEM fuel rail
Makes sense he went with a smaller turbo because of the 7th gen's horrible weight and low end torque woes. So for around $4000-4500 (completely new) or $2000-3000 (used turbo), it's doable. This is what I like to see. More of this and cheaper prices better come in the next 2-3 years.

The installation was fairly easy, basically what i did is buy a brand new greddy rsx turbo kit with intercooler kit, all for about 3200bucks. You can get em used for like 1200 bucks tho!
Everything bolted up perfectly took me 2 weeks of working alone like 4 hrs a day (all rsx-accord engine parts are interchangable)
The only two custom thing was intercooler, some piping, and ofcourse a downpipe (which i got done while getting my exhaust)
So another 600bucks into 2.5" straight pipe exhaust and 200 into the intercooler
4000 dollar grand total. Then another grand into accessories like blow off valve, and electronics, and ofcourse the actual tuning of the e-manage.
Best part about this is that the greddy kit comes with a pre-programmed e-manage, so you have to get a patch cable for plug-n-play into the accord. Once you hook it up, you can actually run your car - smooth idle, and u can definetly drive it to the shop for the fine-tuning (you will have to erase the maps on e-manage unless you know how to unlock them)
