Icon2 Fully Stock EM1 Need Turbo Kit Advice/Help

I recently picked up a Civic and it is unmolested, I plan on boosting it and I really don't know what to get. I don't know everything needed for a turbo and such so I don't know whats best so any advice is appreciated!

Items planning on getting:
Skunk2 Black Series Pro Series Cam Gears
Skunk2 MegaPower RR Exhaust
Skunk2 74mm Black Series Pro Series Throttle Body

and upgrade my fuel injectors to 550cc most likely some skunk2 ones
Budget: $2000-$3000
Engine:B16a2
Goal:250-350 whp
Daily Driver :D

skip the throttle body, skip the cam gears. go study the forced induction forum.

Go read the FAQ in the forced induction forum a few times, understand it all. Then you can start working on a turbo build.

As others have suggested - Its very important you read over the FAQ's in the forced induction section. Once you understand that completely, DO MORE RESEARCH.

Once you understand what needs to be done (its been covered many times) research the parts YOU want. Just because its labled "Skunk2" doesn't automatically make it the best option for you.

There are MANY things you must understand before you throw a turbo on your car. And seeing how you just picked up your car, i'd highly suggest doing a compression test to determine the health of your engine before doing anything to it.

Its very possible - depending on the health of your car - that the engine won't handle being turbo'd very well. So again, RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH.
