Ok where to begin, I have a 92 VX hatch with a 99 GSR full swap. I currently have a P72 OBDI ecu APEX-i VAFC, GSR Fuel pump, ported GSR header, GSR cat with 2.25" exhaust going into an ES oval. The motor is bone stock and I've ran a best of 13.7@103.6 mph - this was one street tires, and gutted rear interior + passenger seat. I never put much money into the motor or bolt ons since I knew I would boost it sooner or later.
I'm wanting to step into the world of forced induction and get down into the low 12's. I was thinking about going with a Drag III setup, but my turbo knowledge is not good at all. I know that many people use low comp. pistons and things like that but I would like to use the motor as it is, if possible.
I need the car to be as reliable as possible for daily driving, but with a little crank of the boost, rip some good times at the strip on weekends. What should I be looking for and where should I be looking for it? I'm not close to any shops or dynos so there will be a lot of rudimentary tuning in my garage with whatever type of setup I choose to go with.

You Need a Turbo. You Need a turbo.
Forced induction is the only way to go faster.

How about this...

You take a ride in a high powered turbo Honda and then you convince us why you don't need a turbo.

It'll never happen...

Well said. The acceleration is addicting. The only thing more fun may be a motorcycle but i'm a bit afraid of them.
