Boost anything else IMO is a waste of money and time

Boost is nice, but the D16Y's oil pumps suck *** - so I would change that to one from a Z6 and change the headgasket before I boost it.

PS:
As others have said, boost or nothing - you can't make "good" power for a reasonable amount of money while still keeping the car streetable out of a SOHC 4 banger.
