how many thousands do you have to spend?

it's just about spending a bunch on parts, then installing the parts.

turbo for autocross civic? are you suuuure? what size turbo? (keep turbo lag in mind; and the fact that most autox courses don't allow enough time for large turbos to spool/stay in boost)

but go to the road racing/autocross section they'll be able to guide you

I say focus on your suspension set up first. Invest in some good suspention pieces and your autocross times will improve more.

Suspension >Power in autocrossing.

I thought it was more like 3-3500 for a small rurbo?

So with that turbo you're pretty much in boost all the time?
Then go for it
