Bought a cheap Integra

Just bought a cheap integra. $400. 220000 miles on it. Pretty much a beater car. I was looking at turbo kits on ebay. I found some for less than $800 which I can afford and they have everything included. My only question is what is what would I have to do for tuning the car? It doesn't have OBD so no idea how I would tune that. Would I have to do a dyno tune at a car shop or what?

Yeah it runs fine. I wasn't looking to gain a lot of horsepower out of this just thought it would be fun to slap a cheap turbo on it. Maybe not this specific kit but another cheap on ebay. One that doesn't say off road use only lol. And I did do some research but couldn't find much on off brand turbo kits.

because nobody goes with an off brand kit for something important like a turbo lol.

but for $400 it seems like you got it for a toy and not a DD.

Of course you can take that turbo money and make the teg look good then flip it for a decent profit.
rinse, repeat, profit.

Gonna take more than $600 to make this car look good enough to turn a profit. A turbo might make it turn a profit lol. But say I install everything for a turbo. How would I go about tuning it?

Neptune is basically cheap Hondata. Crome is THE cheapest software, but boosted folks say it's absolute crap lol. I use it, but im N/A

Pherable.net sells everything you need. Then you find a tuner. In a perfect world your tuner will be awesome and tune the platform you use. But if you live in a place with limited access to tuners then you're stuck using whatever they use, whether it be Hondata or Crome.

Most ecu's will have a little port cut into the metal.

Go to Phearable.net and look at the hondata ecu's. You'll see it.
