Default turbo???

i have a 97 ex. i was going to drop in a gsr but that fell through. so i'm just thinking about putting a turbo kit on it. but my motor has about 105,XXX miles on it. and vtec somehow doesnt engage. maybe its not enough oil but i'll check that out.

you guys think i should get my motor rebuilt and get some decent pistons and stuff and keep my compression low? how much do you guys think i would have to spend on my motor before it's capable of being turbod? ideas? comments? suggestions? anything please.

You'll probably be much happier saving back up for the swap. Doing a turbo right will probably cost you the same in the end anyway. I haven't done either, but I've read a lot about the two trying to figure out the same thing.

I don't think doing a turbo right will cost as much as a swap
