Please, use the search feature. This has been addressed more times than you can concieve.

BUT, no turbocharger is a bolt on for this car. It takes a lot of work to get one to fit well. You do not buy turbochargers for a car. You buy one you think will work well, and give you what you desire. Be it a fast spool torque monster, or a high horsepower lag machine.

By gutting the TVIS you simply make sure that the TVIS does not operate, make sure all butterfly's stay open at all times. You do this for pure performance. It's much like VTEC, look at their dyno's. When VTEC engages, the turbo'd motors lose power for about a thousand RPM.

You do not need to upgrade any internals for the motor, you can run a set up on a completely stock motor. If you give yourself some tuning capabilities, you will notice a huge difference in power and longevity.
