Default 00 Civic d16y7 turbo build advice?

Hey there everyone! ✋😁
So I got a 00 Civic Dx
It's a y7 sadly =/
But I would like to turbo the motor and get it ready for the spring coming up.
I've read quite a bit about boosted y7s but I'm just not to to sure about what turbo setup would be best
But I AM on a budget so I know I can't afford the best that's out there but I will not take shortcuts or anything with it I'd rather take it slow and do it right then rush it haha.
I've heard about switching the head with a y8 head?
I already got the y8 manifold but I'd it really worth it for switching tho whole head?
And I would like to run the car on a good amount of boost (not to low or high!)
It is my daily driver tho
I've heard about the vitara setup but like I said I'm still not to sure..
Would it be really worth it boosting this motor?
Any input back would be great!
Thanks in advance ! 😄
I will post pics of it as soon as I figure out how hahaha
