Default Next Upgrade Question

Hello. I need help on what I should do next. I have a 1993 Honda Civic del Sol with 3,000 on a COMPLETLY rebuilt B18C1 VTEC engine out of an Integra GS-R. It does need minor body work and a respray before it could be "shown" but do you think I should get new seats, racing steering wheel, shift ****, and fix the body work and get it resprayed... orrrr should I get a stage 3 turbo kit? I thought the turbo would be cool, but I have no intention to race with the car and what not so... is it really worth it? Let me know please, thanks.

How's about just a stage 1 turbo kit, and the seats? Really though, it's up to you. Muster up some independence and decide what would be best for you. What would make the ride more fun for you, because that's really all building a honda should be about. (except security, that's just for the car's safety) What would make you more proud to drive your car that you built?

if your not going to race it then there is no need to add more power then what you already have.

I'd go with the turbo because all that special seating stuff and steering wheel is just comfort. When you have a turbo GSR you tend to care less about comfort.

By the way, mind filling me in on what the **** a stage 3 turbo is?

Is it made by EA?
