Default What do I need to turbo this car?

Ok, I got a 93 integra ls, and it seems like the best way to get speed is to turbo the car after I get the engine rebuilt. The engine has 125k on it right now, and I want to turbo it. I only wanna run like 6-8psi and dont wanna do anything really insane like 24psi or anything because I want a pretty reliable setup. What exactly should I get? I need to know what parts I would need, rough prices, where to get them, etc. Please note I'm 20 years old and am on a limited budget because I have to pay rent, insurance, etc.

If GReddy or Drag makes a turbo kit for your car, buy that. About $3,000.

WHy would he waste his money on an intercooler if hes gonna be running on 6psi.. thats a safe boost to run without an intercooler.. that will save him a bunch of money and time...
