Default Best b16 mod for $1500?

Bought a stock del sol VTEC, have 1500 put into it, don't have the time, tools, or garage to do the work, so i pay for labor.
-ebay turbo kit?
-type r cams, header, and tune?
In order to have a dyno tune done, i need a piggy back system like a hondata s300 right?

boost it. piece your own kit together and put it on yourself. send out your oil pan if you don't feel comfortable tapping it. the rest it simple nuts and bolts.

You can spray a b16 all day. Get some plugs and pull a couple degrees you could run a 75 shoot.
