How much money do you have?

A turbo car can be more streetable but requires more money to be reliable.

I've got a customer who did a 400whp H22a 5th gen set-up. It has been running strong for over a year and a half and he has yet to run into a SINGLE problem.

Keep in mind, he drives from DC to New York every other weekend and dogs the **** out of the car.

Cheap, Fast, Reliable. Pick 2.

In a prelude you're chances are far less. Example... my buddies turbo b16a away from a 4th gen making around 220whp.

it just depends what you're looking for really. why you would want to upgrade it if it's just gona be a dd. weekend fun? consider that you might run into problems later so better have a plan b handy. and of course, it really also depends on how deep your pockets go m'friend. n/a will cost you an arm and a leg. maybe even your left nut. boosting is cheaper and much easier to do. good luck.
