dont listen to him.
it will cost you an additional 200.00 in misc. part for the turbo install if you do it yourself, which i highly reccomend.
greddy kit from optionsautosalon.com runs you about 1600.00
blow off valve ( a must) runs you 200, plus 40 for flange.
paying someone else to instally your turbo kit is NOT reccomended.
otherwise if something goes wrong, how will you know how to fix it?
you HAVE to do it yourself....
an intercooler is NOT needed at stock boost with the greddy kit.
i took out a brand new bmw z4, bmw 23, and mercedes benz e430 convertible with my sohc boosted enigne with STOCK exhaust and STOCK cat.
if you want more information about boosting your "d" series motor, go

the total install on my greddy kit cost me 2300.00
1600 for the kit
200 for bov
50 for flange
200 for misc parts
200 for guages and guage pod.
i can beat a b16 civic no problem.....
can you get a b16 swapped into your civic and run low 15's in a HEAVY ass ek coupe from the get-go for that amount of money?????
if you only want to run mid 13's reliably, then boosting your sohc is the cheapest way to go
