Greddy turbo question
Okay, I have my stock '96 Civic EX. I am going to begin building a nice engine swap OUTSIDE the car. Probably going to go either LS/Turbo or LS/VTEC/Turbo with either the DRAG, FMAX or RevHard kits. This engine is going to be a serious build, talking resleeved block, pistons, valvetrain, the whole 9 yards.
All of that doesn't do me a whole lot of good right NOW.
I'm sick of my EX's absolute LACK of power. I am considdering buying a Greddy turbo kit (new or used) to install just to get a little more kick until the new engine.
Three questions:
1. If I take care of the turbo and don't whale on it, what am I looking at for re-sale value?
2. If I get a used one, what should I look for to make sure it's in good condition? (I know the concepts of turbos, just don't know all the details, still learning)
3. What kinds of gains will I be looking at on an otherwise stock D16Y8? I will be upgrading exhaust, etc... along the way.
Thanks guys!
P.S. And please no comments on which turbo to get now or later on. I have decided on the Greddy now for cost reasons, and I will decide on the future turbo when I get around to it.

Re: Greddy turbo question (DragIIcivic)
So the drag on a D16 will cross over to a B18B with a different manifold?
How much $ do the DRAG III's run now? I'll check groupbuycenter, but others may know of better deals.
Thanks!
