Reading threads from a while back, its only really worth it if youve got say some cams, good header and some good tuning. ie - aem ems, hondata, uberdata etc.

If your thinking of upgrading, one word- Euro-R

it all depends on your setup and what mods your going to have on your car. turbo, good choice. just bolt ons for a daily driver, probably not worth it.

IBTL = In before the lock.

As for which IM to get, I don't think there's still any conclusive proof of either one yet. Both will require some work to make it fit and 2point6 lost torque but gained peak hp by switching to the Skunk2 (he's since switched back to the Euro-R). However, I'm sure none of us have an engine like his.

I got Skunk 2 intake manifold with Hondata gasket installed for my 93 Prelude turbo, so far I like it. But some people say it is not worry it. But I have to see it myself on dyno, so when I dyno it, I will let you guys know if it made the different before. This is how it looks.
