Default turbo-ing my civic HELP

Hello guys

Im very keen on turboing my ef civic and planning out what i will need.

Its 1.5l sohc automatic so it allready pulls hard as but need more powa for drifting. Serioulsly this things a menace to drive in the wet as it is BUT NEED a bit more pull

So i figure i need a big-ish turbo first, any suggestions?

i wont get a aftermarket manifold cause they take too much power from the blow off valve which makes the boost go up to 30psi ish when doing skids in the dry, i might just cut a section out of runner 1 and weld the turbo on there, (Any one else dont this before than can share some pics?)

And ill get a wastegate (yeah i know i dont really need a wastegate cause the pod filter takes care of exhaust stuff but the sound makes me look cool as! hehe) and if i do get the wastegate ill probally get a 30psi spring cause the 1.5l sohc motor comes forged anyway and can handle heaps of boost from what ive read.

and lastly, will an auto hold me back with my skids etc? cause i wanna get into professional drifting and drag racing with this car and really dont know how to drive manual yet cause i never wanna learn cause autos drift better from what i know.

Yeah thats about all i think i will need cause im only wanting about 200ish kw of power so not too much really. so if anyone else would like to come to my uncles cousins brothers aunties house and help me do the job soon ill pay you with dragon ball z cards cause u have the rear as ones (i got them when i was 8, im now 14 so there the good ones)

thanks for helping me buddys!

Step away from the civic and go buy some slurpees.

Leave the mechanics to people who know what they are doing.
