Icon5 96' HX non-swap small turbo help/questions

Hi everyone I have a 96' EJ7 of which has a Vtec-E D16y5 5-speed. I dont want to do an engine swap and plan to own the car for some years, however I do want to add a small turbo of which I can have more fun with when I hoon around on a daily basis.

So, really the only things added to the car is a cold air intake, an OBZ catback exhaust, and removed cat converters. (yay for Alaska) I was curious as to what I would need to add a small turbo and what size turbo I should get.

The car is a daily driver and in fairly good condition (Besides a bit of 96' electrical issues) I love it and treat it like my child, wouldnt you want to gift your child with a turbo?

Thank you.

Read the faq lots of info there but basically you wont get more the 200 HP on that block without building it. And that might be a little trickier then normal since the head on that motor is very restrictive. You would still need an EMS and injectors/fuel pump.

Read up a bit and then ask some more specific questions once you have a better idea of what you wanna do with the car as in HP goals
