do you need a catback exhuast system if you plane on runing a turbo?

depends on what you get, but generally you should get a bigger exhaust to accomadate the turbo so that there is no back pressure. a 2.5 inch exhaust will do it for most turbo setups, full 2.5 inch includes the spipe and a catback after the downpipe from the turbo.

youll get bigger gains with a larger diamenter system, i have 2.5 seems to be fine at the moment unless someone is getting better gains with 3" with my setup

I personally love the ZPI exhaust design. Draxas new system is ok too (similar exit as the ZPI, but ZPI's looks cleaner w/ the tip, etc)

Our full exhaust + s-pipe is a full 2.5" mandrel bent system should be perfect for a turbo tC. 2.5" pipe is good for 400+hp.

Leave the 3" pipe for the n/a honda crew.

Forgot to mention that ZPI setup weights a lot less then stock. 3" is really not necessary. You are just adding the extra, unnecessary weight.

I'm looking into the Stage 0 ZPI setup w/ either the HKS Hi-Power exhaust or the ZPI custom exhaust..the pricing for that and the intercooler is cool

but does anyone know of the automatic transmission upgrade needed for the turbo?
