What next?
i have a pretty much stock 95 gsr, recently spun rod bearing fully rebuilt motor, arp studs itr pistons and rods, king race bearings but that’s about it, recently put lots of money in parts in it, dc headers, cold air intake, test pipe, seats and harness, sound system, and much more but not much for performance, my question is, I want more power, what’s the best way for a budget? Motor has about 1.5k miles on it. Can I turbo it reliably for a daily? Just like 250-280hp? Really don’t have a lot of money so just currious my best bet, don’t want to spend 1k on skunk two cams and valves for 15hp and do more motor work. If turbo is an option what would be a good option for my power goal and budget wise? What parts would I need? Injectors throttle body tune and what?

Just drive it and enjoy it. As fun as it can be, boosting your car is not cheap and can't be done half-assed, or you'll just have to rebuild your engine again. If you're set on boosting, get a decent kit and replace the engine mgmt with something real (Hondata/Neptune/etc). Ebay turbos are hit or miss, leaning towards the failure side.

No you don't, you can boost a completely stock engine, provided it is healthy and the goal is within a realistic range. But $1500 is not enough. Double that and then some, unless you can find a complete used kit. I'd head over to the Forced Induction forum and read the FAQs a few times. There is a lot to it, spool times on the turbo you choose will greatly affect driving characteristics. Too big and you don't get boost until redline. Too small and it becomes a restriction at high RPM. etc...
