yes you can put a turbo on it, and your engine will be fine running at 8-9 psi maybe more but anything over 200 whp you'll prolly run into trouble on stock internals, as for what parts, search, keep that in mind for any other questions you have, always search, at the top of this thread there is a link to faq's i'm sure turbo setups r in there

Search-a-rooski.... I think if you searched "turbo" you'd probably be up until next tuesday reading posts on it... You can boost anything you want to boost, theres a way for just about anything... Now doing it the right way is the key u wanna learn.. Internals, Bolt-ons, Fuel Management, a/f, everything plays a roll in the performance of your car... My suggestion for you would be, see how much you can squeeze out of ur motor n/a, than turbo cuz at least u kno than that its at peak performance, instead of running like stock 97hp an boostin 9lbs trying to reach 200hp an kur-plunk... There goes ur motor.. Be smart my friend, be very smart...

thank you for your help so far... So i should get intake,headers, full exhaust system etc then buy turbo and running it at 8 psi ? by the way all i really want turbo for is the sound lol o and what do you guys recommend me getting for my stock engine before the turbo

Theres a lotttttt more than intake, headers, an exhaust... For turbo your going to need about 2 1/2" piping "more airflow"... And TUNE..!!! Tuning is the key, get a crome chip, an find local dyno shop, that performs tunes an give'm 100 for the 3 runs, an have'm tune it for u... Just doing all the bolt ons, an internals, an getting tuned u'd notice niceeee diff... My suggestion for you to start would be call junk yard and search for 95 civic si head... Go VTEC buddy, thats a huge jump from ur stock 1.5 right there... You can get one from junk yard or ebay for around or under 100 bucks.. Or do like I did, http://www.jdmaddictions.com got me a D15B, bolt ons, nice tune, with proper air/fuel, while still remaining n/a and im destroying any single cam in sight.. Handfuls of dual cams too.. But like I said man, just do it clean and you'll be great... Don't just be like "oh man that srt4 that just drove by sounded frickin sweeeet, i want my car to go VROOOOM PSHHHHH" peak ur car out, than make it go PSHHHH an i PROMISE..!!!!!! You'll have a safer car to boost, and well notice a HUGE diff from ur stock D15b7... Case in point..

Don't buy an intake or header for the stock motor if you want to go turbo because they will be useless with a turbo set up.
