well, i'm somewhat satisfied with my setup... but thats because i'm running a small turbo... a greddy 15g to be exact... i gained about 50-60 whp & 60-70 lb ft torque as compared to a stock d15b

it depends on the turbo tho, the bigger, the more power u'll get... but i'm satisfied as far as my driving style...

its fun for a while but then u get use to 200hp and start geting bored, ive had my set up for about 8 months now, and its a mid 13 sec car but it has no tourqe down low and tends to get boring, thats why i am almost done with my b18 turbo, i regret goin single cam because now im putting in the big money for what I really wanted instead of doing that in the first place

you could always do a LS swap... then you can run around 300 on stock internals..

if you wana go dohc.. just grab a b18b or b18a.. those things are real cheap to come by.

Or boost your sohc and build a block on the side.. or save for a b18b.

a b16a isnt going to be cheaper than a b18a, you can get b18a/b's for 600-900 bucks...
