they're lying to you. you should be able to bolt up a turbo to a b16 just fine runing a stock ECU. although you might not keep up with them, it will run fine

Hey mate. By the time you can afford a turbo, Edelbrock may have their B16 kit available. I read that it is in the works. Edelbrock is known for the completeness of their kits, at least for the D16Y8 anyway. But you can always go with Greddy, FMAX, or RevHard; companies which I believe all make kits for the B16. As for fuel management, it's most likely going to come in the form of an FMU, AFC, piggyback, or a stand-alone.
