Default any one with info on charging a b16a in a crx- cant make a desicion.

i've been looking for a turn key kit, despite friends advising me to go with puting one together on my own.
heres what i got and what i've got ==

/ jdm b16a out of a integra xsi w/ s1 tranny
/ intake and a weld up 2.5 exhaust from the collector and no cat- very loud... louder in VTEC!! spoon power
/ crap for suspension and in need of a biggar parts list than i have mods.

in need of
\ cv's
\ struts-spring kit
\clutch (notorious 3rd gear grind)
\fly wheel for the hell of it, since i gotta do the clutch.
and maybe a lsd

the cv's i'm going with avid.
tokico blues and eibach springs

now what clutch and flywheel would work the best for dailly driving?
and i need some direction on witch lsd to get.
but heres the kicker- should i use a rev hard turbo kit?
it's not a kit that i can just throw on in 4-8 hours- but it has most of the stuff that peiceing a turbo together, you need, and you get it in one package.
and is there another company that makes kits for my swap?
i've seen the hasport/ jackson super charger, but i think i'de like the turbo better.
any one got some good info on any of this??

I have had good luck with the Exedy ceramametallic 3puck clutches.. On my new B16 setup im going to run a Clutchmaster FX500 clutch since the 3puck probably isnt going to hold the power and I dont feel like paying >$1000 for a Exedy hyper clutch..

IMO, there really is no "turn key" turbo setup.

Every setup will need some tweeking.

I would not choose a pucky style clutch for a daily driver. Get one with a organic disc, so you can have a nice easy engagement, and a long life. If Sheppard can run 8's with a full organic disc, I think it can work for you.
