A turbo is an ingenious little design that harnesses the wasted kinetic energy we dump out through the exhaust system force more air into the engine. A turbo can be a simpler, more compact way to add power, especially for an aftermarket accessory. The basic turbo system comes with the turbo, exhaust manifold for turbo, waste gate, blow-off valve (bypass valve), lines for oil supply and return and the intercooler, which is optional.
Your Honda's turbocharger is ultimately the most powerful of all forced induction systems. While turbo charging a Honda car motor increases the amount of air that can be flowed into it, it has a negative effect on how easily we can flow it back out again. This weakens positive pressure difference between these two fundamental sides of the engine, and causes both cam timing & exhaust system design to become extremely important to producing more power.
An area of the turbo acts as an insulator from the exhaust heat to keep the intake air compressor side as cool as possible. Keeping the intake air cool increases power since more air molecules enter the cylinders at a given pressure. Yet in most current forms of racing where the rules do not prohibit the use of turbo or slap restrictions on their use, the turbo reigns supreme in terms of engine power output.

Researching Vehicles Online
By Amber Lowery
The purchase of a new car is a serious investment. It is best that you do your homework before purchasing a new vehicle, to avoid ending up with a vehicle thats overpriced or just not right for your needs. Luckily, with the help of the internet, you can do all of your research directly online from the comfort of your home.
Your first goal should be to figure out what type of vehicle is right for your family. Are you looking for a sports car, or do you have children and need a sedan, minivan or SUV? You need to consider how many seats you need and how much storage space for cargo.
With todays rising gas prices, you may want to opt for the most fuel efficient type of vehicle. In other words, carefully compare the difference in gas mileage between two types of vehicles before choosing the one thats right for you. A sedan will likely use much less gas than a minivan, and if you dont need the extra seats or cargo room, you can save a significant ammount of fuel cost over the lifetime of a vehicle. Minivans and SUV's use similar ammounts of gas, depending on the size of the vehicle. A mini SUV may be a good choice over a full size SUV, saving you money every time you fill up at the pumps.
After you know what type of vehicle you are shopping for, you can focus on a make and model. Be sure to read reviews from existing owners, they often times can save you from purchasing something that isnt going to make you happy.
There are many excellent consumer review sites on the internet that have a wealth of information on what owners like and dislike about their vehicles.
Here are a couple of sites to get you started:

Many auto review sites also offer price guides so that you can know in advance what the vehicle of your choice is likely to cost you. Also, auto makers often offer price quotes directly from their sites. You can also find additional information, pictures, and sometimes video at the auto makers sites.
Once you have done all of your research, selected the make an model of the vehicles you are interested in, you can then go to your local dealership armed with all of the information necessary to make an informed buying decision. By researching vehicles online, you can save time, money and gain piece of mind.
