Not a good car for a dirt cheap turbo kit IMO. You're risking a $2800 motor there. In fact, you're not risking it. If you do a turbo on a b16a2, and you do it "on the cheap", then plan on blowing it. It would be better and cheaper to buy a whole car. Like a junk 90'ish Civic with a d15/16 in it for $1k, slap together a turbo kit for ~$1k. Then when it blows up you haven't screwed your high dollar Si.
