Hey Guys,
What do you think I should do about the turbo car I just bought? Got it for a good price, in nice shape with a plan to sell it after a little work. Should I remove the turbo system?
It is the Honda EP, (2002 Civic Si) with a GReddy Turbo with Intercooler, Turbo Timer, and GReddy computer. It has a stock K20A3 (160 hp) engine.
What should I do to make the most from the sale?
Thanks, Greg
I'd say pull the turbo kit and sell it separate.
I think you should tell the new buyer that is was boosted. Other wise just leave it on there. Maybe I am a nice guy?
Remove the turbo kit, box it up, PM me for my address, ship to my house, be happy that you helped out a poor man.

If the car isn't currently damaged, what is the difference? If the turbo caused something to break, it wouldn't wait to do it after the turbo was off....
unless the car just missed being boosted and decided to be rebellious?
Why Turbee when you can go Furby??

You should take it off, sell it as a stand alone totally bolt on ready brand new turbo kit that OMGZ hAZ 200hpS+ AN will totally ROCK your worldZ!!!! on homemadeturbo.com for fastest results, then list the car on autotrader and proclaim it to be immaculate, unmolested, never abused, and never boosted because that's the honest thing to do 
I'm just kidding of course, do what you will...
There are a couple of sites on the net specific to the 2002-2004 Civic Si that I will probably list the turbo after it comes off. That GReddy kit lists for $3,500 new - the car is a little underpowered for it's weight.
The turbo unit itself is new and I don't think it has ever been at maximum boost.
That particular model sells better without any modifications, so the turbo would not demand a higher price.
