well if your looking to got turbo the intake and header will do you no good. and maybe the exhaust depending on the size of it. you can piece together a nice turbo kit for a pretty cheap price just search and you will find out everything you need to know

intake and header are not gonna work for you at all if you plan to turbo your vehicle

if you plan on boosting your vehicle for the long run
well two things depend on it

how fast you want to go?
and
how much money do you have?

not too much money want an easy boost setup get a kit from
greddy, edelbrok, turbonetics or the like

if you got a decent amount of cash then go to fullrace.com

maybe even have your motor built for it

i used a drag 3 kit on a si i had
mod'd it with a tial 38mm wastegate and a hks ssqv
tuned it only on the fmu, a vafc and chipped ecu that only had a b16 basemap with an extended rev limit
on a dynojet i got 241.2 whp and 171tq it got me a 13.4 1/4 mile with a cel and a tranny that wasnt going right on 22" slicks with 9lbs of air

gl have fun but once you get a taste of boost on a honda you wont go back
