Default Is it worth Turboing a D15b7 in a 92 Dx i have laying around?

I have a Dx (D15b7) that i'm gonna use as my winter beater, but it has no *****...
i was thinking budget turbo, but is it worth it? are the gains in HP good enough to be labeled as cool? i dunno...gimme your thoughts...i searched, and not too many people have turbed 1.5L Dx...

Hey I have a manifold that is perfect for you. Make an offer on it. It is built to run a t3 with internal wastegate on a dx.

Well maybe if you're new to turboing and you use it as a learning experience, it may be worth it.

Go for it! Hey, it's got 16 valves, MPFI, and a better rod ratio than the D16!

I think you should stop being gay with your d15 and get a B18B.

Totally go for it man, just don't expect it to be SUPER fast. I bet you can get mid-low 14's, easy on stock internals and that's respectable power. My dad has a 92 LX and we're swapping a Gude VTEC head package on it that I got for cheap. it should make it a fun little screamer (revving to 8k or so ) to drive to the store.
