Default Turbo or no?!

Aight so I just got a 96 coupe dx... I don't wanna swap the engine out cause it only has about 84k miles on it. So I was thinking turbo. I don't have a lot of money so my friend told me to get an ebay turbo system and then just get it professionally tuned. Any thoughts on turboing the car and/or the ebay turbo?

It's like Nancy Bush's message WAY back in the 80's to crack... Just say 'NO' to E-bay. Do some checking here on the FAQs about putting together a proper setup, or even check the hondamarketplace classifieds on some quality used setups. But if you really don't have the money now, you'll be spending twice as much later trying to get your e-bay setup to work correctly. Save, save, save..and do it right the first time. You'll thank yourself later.
