If you want the biggest *performance* bang for your buck, get the greddy turbo kit. Hands down most power for the dollar, as you can get a new one for under $1400.

Agree with Siphor, the most noticable difference is FI. You can spend $$$$ on header and cat back, and it's all good, but the kick-in-the-pants difference is going to be FI. Not to get into a debate of Turbo vs. Supercharged, I would suggest looking into a JRSC.

I say, go for making it look like an Si. Dont put an DOHC VTEC or Si emblems, just do the grille, front spoiler and skide skirts, and maybe the rear lower bumper lip if u like it. Adding more horsepower will only get you into more trouble! jk

FI is more work overall, but I think it can be quite reliable if tuned correctly. You're right in that doing a turbo *right* will cost more than just the kit, but again it will give the most power. JRSC on d series are not worth the time the eaton m45 is used vs. the m62. The 45 is smaller and creates way more heat leading to detonation much more than on kits using the bigger blower. You could try a cam, zex, http://www.zex.com/ or Crane http://www.cranecams.com/import/toc.htm.

save your money either for a Drag Gen III turbo kit, or motor swap, anything else is a waste of time and money
