turbo kit?

[2009civicsi]

Hello everyone im new to this forum I just recenlty bought a 09 si sedan and I am trying to gain a lot og hp. I really want to smoke corvettes and mustangs. I really need some advice on what turbo kit I should get to achieve this goal by the end of this summer. Or what website I can order from. So please feel free to give me some advice.

Not going to happen unless you REALLY know what you're doing.
First: Is the car out of warranty
Second: Do you have the money and know-how to do this?
Third: Know that your will need more than just a turbo kit and hopefully you'll understand that this is just a hopeful dream of yours that you should crush.

As far as the turbo goes, find a legitimate shop to order and install, someone that knows what they're doing.
I wouldn't recommend buying a kit and installing it yourself, chances are that you'll have a flaw somewhere and that could possibly lead to more issues.

You want to turbo your car to beat corvettes and mustangs? Wrong reason behind modifying a car. It doesn't take much to do it though. But I think you have a long way to go to fully understand a built car unless you want to just pay someone else to build you a car. But what's the fun in that. Want speed. Buy a bike.

My LS can easily smoke some Mustangs, so it IS possible.
It can be done with a turbo kit, a build, and a good tune.

OP, I'd recommend researching a little bit. Get to know how turbo's work, etc. Professional install would be the best route, but keep in mind it will get pricey.

Before anything, do you have a budget? Set a power goal that's within the budget. Research and find parts / kits to satisfy your goal within budget, and do NOT cheap out on tuning, or you will regret it.
