Unless you're willing to spend about 5,000 to boost 7psi, and maybe dyno 200HP at the wheels, don't bother.Accords aren't turbo'd as much as civics, therefore, there aren't too many kits for them, and a GOOD one ( always get a GOOD turbo kit when getting one, none of those on ebay) is about 2,500-3,000 dollars. These kits from DRAG or TURBONETICS are good for about 250hp, and will require not only a tunning which can cost a lot. You'll need a tuner to change the ECU settings or get a piggy pack to connect to the ECU or if you have a lot of cash, a stand alone system like Hondata, that cost about 600 bucks and still require a pro. to tune it, and dyno it.It's not cheap...Not to mention you need to get your car turbo ready...bigger injectors, etc, this can be a grand in itself.Honda's unlike DSM's ( Mitsubishi's) don't like boost (turbo)...you take the reliability out of a Honda by putting on a turbo or supercharger. do it if you have a lot of money, are sponsored, or just want to be different..otherwise...get a different car if you want turbo or supercharger.
