Default This is what I want out of my car, what do you recommend?

I have a 2000 Integra LS and am thinking about turboing it. Here are my goals w/ the car in order of importance:

1)I want my car to be reliable, I don't want it to always need work.
2)I don't want to have to always worry about it, so I want to do everything safe and right.
2)I want the turbo to spool up fast so that a have a nice, very streetable car.
3)I want to be able hit mid-high 13s (beat new Mustang GTs )
4)I know I will eventually want more power, so I would like to one day be able to hit low-mid 12's (be able to beat on most anything on the street, specifically my father's Corvette -- double ).

So thats basically what my goals and wants are out of my car. What setup do you guys recommed that would help me achieve this goal.

Also, anyone who has a car like this, please list what you have.

Thanks a lot.

FMAX, if you don't mind removing it at SMOG time...if you do mind then Greddy or HKS, but expect like low 14's instead.

any car that you race is going to require maintenance. If you get a smog legal kit dont be expecting mid 13s. You can make it safe and reliable but every once in awhile you will have to work on it.
