Yo,
I just bought the car 2 months ago and decided it needed to go much faster.  I've decided on a turbocharger but I know so little about stuff that I;m looking for advice.

What all needs to be considered when getting a turbocharger???  AND, How feasible is it to put a turbo in a Honda Accord...never saw one before.  

Thanks!

I think it is actually feasible to put a turbo on your accord and get a decent whp from it since it runs on regular gas in stock form and is a large displacement v6 so its not as limited by the block being made from aluminum as if it was a 4cylinder.

Here is a thread on a turbokit for a 2004 Accord v6 on honda-tech

Prolly not worth it IMO. If you wanted speed, you should read our new car sticky and bought a car that meets our guidelines on what makes a fast car.

Generally we try to get people to not tune NA 4cylinders and instead buy turbo 4's/6's or a V8, and FWD is also frowned upon. We encourage people to get AWD or RWD tuning platforms.

Id say keep it for what it was meant for, a point a to Point B car, and buy a car that was built to be made fast from the factory instead of tuning your accord.
