Anything from a piece by piece turbo or a turbo kit can be streetable and reliable you just need to know what you are doing. The biggest factor on reliability lays down not on which kit but how good your tuner is. Tuning Tuning Tuning Tuning. Just ask Pee Wee his accord runs very moslestable and I heard whoever tuned his car is awesome.

about the whole beating a supra deal...if you calculate the power to weight ratios....a coupe with a turbo b18c.....compared to a 3000something pound supra with only probably like 280 at the wheels is you figure in a 15-20% powertrain loss.....the civic has a better power to weight ratio.....the only thing the suprad have on me is launch right?

Well if thats what itll take to make you feel good about yourself then so be it. But personally I think you should just take pride in the fact that you have a nice car which is a lot more than many people have. It may not be the fastest but so what. You seem like a nice intelligent boy....dont worry about impressing people with material things...let people like you or respect you for you. Try not to worry so much about having the best or fastest car cause you might have the fastest car for awhile but youll be broke and it wont be long still someone mods their car or gets a new one thats even faster than yours. Its a battle you wont win and isnt worth fighting.
