if u put lets say low compression pistons, your car will run like ****. i guess it depends on what kind of internal u put in.

i suggest putting them in at once. if not, i wouldnt run my car with turbo internals without the turbo.

What are your power goals?? Stock blocks can handle a lot more power than people think...

I guess i'm not understanding what you want...You want a little power, but you want to both turbo and supercharge it?? There's really no need for that at all...especially for your meager power goals.

My advice is to start small and dont get ahead of yourself. Check out the Forced Induction forum and read the FI FAQ. You need to learn what you're getting into before you waste a lot of money with no real end in sight.

That's easily attainable with any OEM Honda engine in stock form. I dont know which engine you have, but the general rule of thumb is that the D is good for 220-240whp; whereas, most B's are safe into the 300whp range.
